Abstract

We present a novel assistance system which supports anticipatory driving by means of fostering early deceleration. Upcoming technologies like Car2X communication provide information about a time interval which is currently uncovered. This information shall be used in the proposed system to inform drivers about future situations which require reduced speed. Such situations include traffic jams, construction sites or speed limits. The HMI is an optical output system based on line arrays of RGB-LEDs. Our contribution presents construction details as well as user evaluations. The results show an earlier deceleration of 3.9 - 11.5 s and a shorter deceleration distance of 2 - 166 m.
