Automated Driving Systems: Impact of Haptic Guidance on Driving Performance after a Take Over Request

Description

In conditional automation, a response from the driver is expected when a take over request is issued due to unexpected events, emergencies, or reaching the operational design domain boundaries. Cooperation between the automated driving system and the driver can help to guarantee a safe and pleasant transfer if the driver is guided through a haptic guidance system that applies a slight counter-steering force to the steering wheel. We examine in this work the impact of haptic guidance systems on driving performance after a take over request was triggered to avoid sudden obstacles on the road. We studied different driver conditions that involved Non-Driving Related Tasks (NRDT). Results showed that haptic guidance systems increased road safety by reducing the lateral error, the distance and reaction time to a sudden obstacle and the number of collisions.
