Abstract

Intersection crashes can be potentially mitigated through vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety management systems. It is important, however, to consider some of the human factors related aspects of such systems to maximize potential safety benefits. In this study, Intersection Maneuver Assistance Systems were conceptualized and evaluated in a driving simulator. The systems were designed to assist drivers with intersection maneuvers by making use of connected infrastructure and providing real-time feedback, guidance, and active vehicle controls. The study compared drivers' confidence, workload, glances at the instrument panel, and hazard anticipation when driving using three systems - System A (no alert or assist); System B (alert only); and System C (alert and assist). Study results show differences in drivers' confidence in such systems and potentially degraded visual gaze behaviors.
