Initial Investigation of Elderly Drivers’ Acceptability for Proactive Intervention by Intelligent Vehicle

Information Sharing to Improve Understanding of Proactive Steering Intervention for Elderly Drivers

“…In our previous study [7], we discussed a three-layer acceptance structure consisting of reaction, comprehension, and reflection. From the viewpoint of reactive acceptance, we confirmed some problems with proactive steering intervention, which resulted from uncertain system behavior.…”

“…On this point, reduction of provided visual content from a viewpoint of intent understanding and corresponding conjecture that were described in the previous paper [8] would be helpful to avoid the information overload. Initial investigation for acceptability of proactive intervention systems [7] Phase 1…”

“…To this end, our research group [6] has been developing intelligence for automated vehicles. As discussed in our previous study [7], one of the characteristics of intelligent driving assistance systems is that a vehicle intervenes proactively and performs operations on behalf of the driver. To utilize such proactive collision avoidance systems, the investigation of driver acceptance is as important as technological development.…”

“…To utilize such proactive collision avoidance systems, the investigation of driver acceptance is as important as technological development. Thus, in our previous study [7], we focused on the acceptability of proactive collision avoidance systems for elderly drivers.…”

“…Figure 2 shows a schematic of the research flow for proactive collision avoidance systems, as well as our position in this study. Although we previously [7] focused on two proactive collision avoidance systems, in this study, we focused only on proactive steering intervention. Figure 3 shows an overhead illustration of a situation in which proactive steering intervention occurs.…”
