Reliable navigation aids enhance driver situation awareness (SA) and performance. In-vehicle automation influences how SA affects driving behaviors, especially during navigation.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Automotive Engineering
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Driver situation awareness (SA) is crucial for safe driving.
  • Navigation tasks present unique challenges to driver SA.
  • In-vehicle technologies can impact driver cognition and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing driver situation awareness (SA).
  • To examine the relationship between SA and performance in navigation tasks.
  • To assess the effects of in-vehicle navigation aids and their reliability on driver SA and performance.

Main Methods:

  • An experiment using a driving simulator with 20 participants.
  • Navigation tasks were performed using human or automated aids with varying information reliability (100%, 80%, 60%).

  • A control condition involved task-irrelevant information (telemarketing survey).

    • Main Results:

    • Perfect navigation information significantly improved driver SA and performance compared to unreliable information and the control.
    • In-vehicle automation mediated the link between driver SA and performance in strategic and operational behaviors.
    • Reliability of navigation aids is a key factor affecting driver SA and performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Driver situation awareness is a critical factor in the design of automated navigation systems.
    • Future vehicle automation for navigation should prioritize reliable information delivery.
    • Understanding SA-driver performance relationships is essential for developing effective in-vehicle systems.
