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.

Consumers are faced with an increasingly complex decision process as novel safety technologies become commonplace in new vehicles. Consumers’ knowledge of these systems is potentially limited given the recent introduction and constant evolution of ADAS. We examined consumers’ understanding and perceptions of ADAS and vehicle automation in a national survey. Our analysis focused on consumers’ understanding of how certain driving tasks that can be automated (e.g., steering, braking, navigation, etc.) maps onto proposed levels of vehicle automation. Additionally, we report what sources of information and methods of education consumers prefer to utilize when learning about new safety systems. These data can inform new driver training, public policy and transportation goals of how best to educate the motoring public about new vehicle technologies and the capabilities of next-generation automated vehicles as well as facilitate public acceptance of higher levels of vehicle automation.

Globally, pedestrians represent 23% of all road deaths. Many solutions to protect pedestrians are proposed; in this paper, we focus on technical solutions of the ADAS–Advanced Driver Assistance Systems–type. Concerning the interaction between drivers and pedestrians, we want to have a closer look at two aspects: how to protect pedestrians with the help of vehicle technology, and how pedestrians–but also car drivers–perceive and accept such technology. The aim of the present study was to analyze and describe the experiences, needs, and preferences of pedestrians–and drivers–in connection with ADAS, or in other words, how ADAS should work in such a way that it would protect pedestrians and make walking more relaxed. Moreover, we interviewed experts in the field in order to check if, in the near future, the needs and preferences of pedestrians and drivers can be met by new generations of ADAS. A combination of different methods, specifically, an original questionnaire, on-the-spot interviewing, and expert interviews, was used to collect data. The qualitative data was analyzed using qualitative text analysis (clustering and categorization). The questionnaire for drivers was answered by a total of 70 respondents, while a total of 60 pedestrians agreed to complete questionnaires concerning pedestrian safety. Expert interviews (five interviews) were conducted by means of personal interviews, approximately one hour in duration. We conclude that systems to protect pedestrians–to avoid collisions of cars with pedestrians–are considered useful by all groups, though with somewhat different implications. With respect to the features of such systems, the considerations are very heterogeneous, and experimentation is needed in order to develop optimal systems, but a decisive argument put forward by some of the experts is that autonomous vehicles will have to be programmed extremely defensively. Given this argument, we conclude that we will need more discussion concerning typical interaction situations in order to find solutions that allow traffic to work both smoothly and safely.

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.
