Abstract

Within the framework of the project S.A.N.T.O.S. (adaptive driver assistance) research is conducted with the aim to adapt driver assistance in a manner to counteract possible influences of in-vehicle communication on driving. A prerequisite towards this aim is a thorough understanding of the effects of communication on driving. An experiment is presented in which three prototypical driver-car interactions were used: a visual and an auditory information processing task and a manual operation task. According to Multiple Resources Theory these different in-vehicle communications are to interfere with the driving task in a varying amount and pattern. The effects of these communication tasks were examined in a driving-simulation task in which one half of the participants had to maintain their driving speed without and with a preceding car on a straight road while the other half of the participants had to control their lateral position on a curvy road while driving at a recommended speed. Overall, thirty subjects took part in a mixed between-within subject design. First of all, we found distinct changes in the driving behavior caused by the communication tasks. Most strongly, the control of the lateral position of the car deteriorates. Second, the manual operation task causes the greatest interference with the driving task followed by the visual and the auditory information processing task. Third, the driving task has a negative effect on the performance in the in-vehicle communication tasks. These findings support the assumption that advanced driver support systems have to be adapted to different kinds of in-vehicle communication and gives indications of how to design this adaptation. A successful adaptation may also increase the acceptance of these adaptive driver assistance systems if they do not only improve driving behavior but also in-vehicle communication.
