Zusammenfassung
Many researchers argue, in assessing the benefits of Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) it has to be taken into
account that any gains in terms of security may be again reduced by
the fact they affect the drivers' behavior. In this paper, we present
results of a driving simulation study in which we compare driving
performance as well as driver stress in three conditions: 1) when no
assistance is available (NOASSIST) ; 2) when the system is working
as it should ( WORK); 3) when the system suddenly fails (FAIL).
Results show that the driving performance is severely affected by
system failures. The drivers' ability to effectively react to suddenly
appearing obstacles FAIL is significantly lower than in NOASSIST.
At the same time, the stress level is significantly higher in FAIL compared
to WORK.
