Effectiveness of Forward Collision Warning Systems: a Contribution from the Cognitive Analysis Combining Behavioral and Electrophysiological Measurements.
Résumé
This chapter discusses Forward Collision Warning Systems (FCWS), describing the characteristics and the functions of some of the systems currently on the market and presents an overview of behavioural studies evaluating the effectiveness of these systems on road and in simulators. Results are presented from recent studies using electroencephalography and the associated Event Related Potentials allowing, through the analysis of brain activity, a more indepth understanding of the nature of the cognitive processes in the context of FCWS. These studies address three important questions: 1. Are FCWS as effective as they are expected to be when drivers are distracted? 2. What are the consequences of driving with a system that is not completely reliable? 3. Is there any behavioural adaptation to the FCWS over their use in time? Are the consequences of this adaptation positive or negative? The chapter shows that FCWS provides potential benefits for road safety, but certain factors such as the attentional state of drivers but the reliability level of the system can mitigate its effectiveness.
