In the field of automotive safety, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that are systems designed to help the driver in its driver process, are receiving growing attention. Although the introduction of ADAS has contributed decreasing car accidents, the number of accidents is still high. This motivate us to explore the different available ADAS identifying the critical factors in order to find ways to enhance these systems. Some overviews and classifications of the ADAS field are available but the emphasis is more on the technical advances and the human machine interface rather than on the support they provide to the driver for the information processing. An overview and classification of the driver assistance systems field is presented with respect to that information processing performed by the driver when driving. The basic characteristics of these systems and the critical factors are provided. This approach allow for more appropriate identification of the priorities in the field of future research and development of ADAS regarding the driver. The proposed overview allocates the ADAS in 3 different categories on the basis of the sub process of driving they are helping (perception, analysis-decision, and action). This overview reveals that these systems besides being restricted by the sensors and the number of factors considered, they are specially limited in the consideration of drivers’ characteristics which is an important issue when human adaptation is considered.

People construct mental models—internal cognitive representations—when they interact with dynamic systems. The introduction of automation in vehicles has raised concerns about potential negative consequences of inaccurate mental models, yet characteristics of mental models remain difficult to identify. A descriptive study used semi-structured interviews to explore mental models of advanced driver assistance systems (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and Level 2 systems). Results exposed shortcomings in drivers’ understandings of the hardware, software, and limitations of these systems and also suggested that mental models will affect behavior while using automation. Further, we found that mental models can be influenced by interface feedback (or lack thereof) and limitations experienced. Some drivers attributed purposeful design to aspects of the systems that likely were chosen idiosyncratically or arbitrarily. Our findings offered potentially useful avenues for future research on mental models of automation and corroborated concerns that inaccurate mental models may be common.

Background: Stress can frequently occur in the driving context. Its cognitive effects can be deleterious and lead to uncomfortable or risky situations. While stress detection in this context is well developed, regulation using dedicated advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is still emergent.Objectives: This systematic review focuses on stress regulation strategies that can be qualified as “subtle” or “mindless”: the technology employed to perform regulation does not interfere with an ongoing task. The review goal is 2-fold: establishing the state of the art on such technological implementation in the driving context and identifying complementary technologies relying on subtle regulation that could be applied in driving.Methods: A systematic review was conducted using search operators previously identified through a concept analysis. The patents and scientific studies selected provide an overview of actual and potential mindless technology implementations. These are then analyzed from a scientific perspective. A classification of results was performed according to the different stages of emotion regulation proposed by the Gross model.Results: A total of 47 publications were retrieved, including 21 patents and 26 studies. Six of the studies investigated mindless stress regulation in the driving context. Patents implemented strategies mostly linked to attentional deployment, while studies tended to investigate response modulation strategies.Conclusions: This review allowed us to identify several ADAS relying on mindless computing technologies to reduce stress and better understand the underlying mechanisms allowing stress reduction. Further studies are necessary to better grasp the effect of mindless technologies on driving safety. However, we have established the feasibility of their implementation as ADAS and proposed directions for future research in this field.

Các hệ thống hỗ trợ lái xe tiên tiến (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: ADAS) đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong hệ thống an toàn chủ động chỉ có camera và các phương tiện tự động thông minh. Đối với các ứng dụng này, các yêu cầu về hiệu suất phát hiện đáng tin cậy và thời gian thực là các yếu tố cấp thiết. Bài báo này đề xuất giải pháp tối ưu tốc độ phát hiện ô tô và giảm các cảnh báo lỗi cho các hệ thống phát hiện điểm mù. Theo đó, trước tiên chúng tôi đề xuất bộ phân tầng Cascade – AdaBoost cùng với tập dữ liệu mẫu và thuật toán đào tạo của chúng tôi. Ngoài ra, để cải thiện tốc độ phát hiện, một kĩ thuật lựa chọn vùng quan tâm (Region of Interest: ROI) cũng được sử dụng để tránh trích xuất các vùng có khả năng tạo ra các cảnh báo lỗi như là bầu trời hoặc các vùng không phù hợp với phối cảnh. Phương pháp đề xuất đã tăng tốc độ phát hiện lên ít nhất 1,9 lần và giảm cảnh báo lỗi 2,24 lần so với phương pháp truyền thống ở các ảnh có độ phân giải cao (720 x 480) với tỷ lệ phát hiện đạt 99,4% và tỷ lệ cảnh báo lỗi nhỏ là 4,08%. Phương pháp đề xuất này có thể được ứng dụng cho các xe tự hành thông minh thời gian thực.

The emergence of vehicle technologies that promote driver safety and convenience calls for investigation of the prevalence of driver assistance systems as well as of their use rates. A consumer driven understanding as to why certain vehicle technology is used remains largely unexplored. We examined drivers’ experience using 13 different advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and several reasons that may explain rates of use through a nationally-distributed survey. Our analysis focused on drivers’ levels of understanding and trust with their vehicle’s ADAS as well as drivers’ perceived ease, or difficulty, in using the systems. Respondents’ age and experience with Level 0 or Level 1 technologies revealed additional group differences, suggesting older drivers (55+), and those with only Level 0 systems as using ADAS more often. These data are interpreted using the Driver Behavior Questionnaire framework and offer a snapshot of the pervasiveness of certain driver safety systems.
