Synthesis of new knowledge on adaptation processes in response to ADAS and associated advances in research methods: Chapitre 16. In: Driver Adaptation to Information and Assistance Systems
Résumé
Within the ADAPTATION project a series of individual research studies was carried out on the basis of a Joint Conceptual Theoretical Framework. An overview of the findings that were obtained is provided in this chapter, combining the results so as to conclude on three topics that are discussed in the context of implementation and deployment of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): the roles of system characteristics, driver populations and user support strategies. Factors that increase or diminish the expected benefits of ADAS are inferred both from changes detected in driving behaviour (induced by ADAS use) and from subjective system evaluations by drivers. Furthermore, a synthesis of the critical review of methods to study behavioural adaptation in the driving context is given and the two tools developed within the project are discussed. The synthesis of new knowledge allows for conclusions that go beyond the individual studies and confirms the benefit of carrying out research under a joint framework.
