Study of aged drivers' behaviors when using the Advanced Cruise-Assist Highway Systems (AHS) at an intersection

This study focuses on aged drivers’ behaviors when making a right turn at an intersection, while utilizing the information services of AHS (Advanced Cruise-Assist Highway Systems), which consist of a "Support System for Prevention of Right Turn Collisions" and a "Support System for Prevention of Collisions with Crossing Pedestrians". A motion based driving simulator was utilized in the experiment and how aged drivers were influenced by the content and the location of the information services of the AHS, as compared to young drivers, was measured. The drivers’ behaviors were evaluated and reported in terms of driving performance, eye movement and subjective ratings.
