A study on Driver Behaviour with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Summary

Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) designed to enhance the safety of both vehicle occupants and other road users. ADAS encompasses a range of driver assistance technologies that provide crucial information to drivers and, when necessary, assume control of specific vehicle functions.

This study is dedicated to several key objectives. Firstly, it aims to assess user awareness of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems currently integrated into present-day vehicles. Additionally, the research seeks to develop a comprehensive technology acceptance model to gauge user acceptance of technologies like ADAS. Furthermore, the study delves into the behavioral patterns of drivers in vehicle-pedestrian interactions by investigating their probabilistic nature within a simulated environment.

Through these endeavors, the research strives to contribute to our understanding of how ADAS technologies are perceived, utilized, and how they can be optimized to provide effective driving aids. Ultimately, the findings will offer valuable insights for both vehicle manufacturers and road safety initiatives.
