Driver assistance

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

From an ergonomic point of view, any support of human action by technical means constitutes assistance. Assistance can therefore take place on all three levels of the tasks while driving. However, due to the possibilities of technical sensor technology and information processing, assistance systems that focus on the primary driving task (Navigation, Guidance and Stabilisation) have moved into special interest. Especially by supporting the guidance task, driving a car is changed considerably compared to the usual. The currently available driver assistance systems including the fatigue warning system are described and categorized from an ergonomic perspective. In particular, it will be investigated in what way and with what prospect of success driver assistance systems contribute to the driving safety. Special ergonomic suggestions are made for the design of operation and display as well as for the differentiability of the different states of the driver assistance systems.
