Identifying and testing the Operational Design Domain factors of Lane Keeping System at horizontal curves using PreScan

The European Commission has mandated the requirement of advanced safety features in all vehicles sold in the EU from 2022 onwards. This will help drivers get gradually used to ADS, eventually transitioning to fully autonomous driving in the distant future. There are more vehicles on road now equipped with lane-keeping systems and other driver...

Automated Lane Keep Assist System: A study on the formation and evolution of the mental model of the user of ALKS

The mental model is a very rarely studied topic when it comes to human-machine interaction. Nearly all the studies that are done in this field are on measuring the actual performance of the human while performing the collaborative task with the automation system rather than understanding the complete picture of how the human is understanding and...

An Empirical Analysis to Assess the Operational Design Domain of Lane Keeping System Equipped Vehicles Combining Objective and Subjective Risk Measures

Lower levels of automation are designed to work in specific conditions referred to as the Operational Design Domain (ODD). Beyond these conditions, the human driver is expected to take control. A mismatch between a driver's understanding and expectations of the automated vehicle capabilities and its actual capabilities as prescribed in the...

Fault Detection and Isolation for Lateral Control of an Autonomous Vehicle: A Model Based Approach

Over the past years, the automotive industry has seen a constantly increasing level of automation of automotive vehicles. This increasing level of automation contributes to an increasing safety in traffic and a reduction of traffic congestions due tio faster response times and higher reliability, with respect to the human driver. The automation...

A methodology for the assessment of Operational Design Domain of Lane Keeping Assistance system equipped vehicles: The case of Tesla Model S

In this research, a methodology to assess the Operational Design Domain of Lane Keeping Assistance System equipped vehicles is developed. The method is mainly intended for use by manufacturers of semi-automated vehicles to assess the situations and conditions in which their lane keeping systems that are already available in the market, can and...

Design and real-world evaluation of three types of haptic lane-keeping support systems for truck drivers

Designing lane-keeping assistance (LKA) systems that are both effective and well-liked by drivers is a highly challenging process, that is not well understood. This is illustrated by a wide variety of market releases of LKA systems, and a large body of literature illustrating different designs and various evaluation methodologies that are often...
