This paper consider one particular type of Crash Avoidance Systems (CAS): lane change crash avoidance systems. A user-centered evaluation approach for lane change CAS technologies is presented in the context of iterative design, i.e., formative evaluations carried out throughout a product's life cycle to support the development and deployment of maximally effective CAS products. The approach is cast around a set of questions and issues surrounding the human factors of the driver-vehicle interface and safety consequences associated with lane change CAS design. Questions address driving conditions associated with crash involvement, CAS logic to support driver decision making and driving task execution, CAS compatibility with normal driver behaviors, the match of CAS displays with driver sensory characteristics, meaningfulness of CAS display content, and overall effectiveness. For each question, key issues are raised, evaluation methods are discussed, and examples of lane change evaluation results are provided. |
