ABSTRACT
While deciding if it is possible to overtake a slower car, drivers have to take several factors into account. Accident statistics show that many drivers make mistakes in this sit-uation. We want to assist drivers during lane change deci-sion without raising his or her mental workload. Since vision is already highly loaded to assess the situation, we address vibration in this work and investigated if it is possible to con-tinuously inform drivers about a closing car using a vibro-tactile belt. We developed two different tactile patterns and tested them in a driving simulator. Both patterns achieved promising results regarding usability. In the future, we plan to refine the patterns and evaluate the impact on workload and safety.

Supporting lane change decisions with ambient light
AutomotiveUI '15: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular ApplicationsThe number of assistance systems in cars has been increasing in recent years. While these systems are targeted at supporting the individual driver and his or her safety, they may though compete for the driver's attention, and may demand too much of the ...
Video-Based Driver Assistance—From Basic Functions to Applications
Image sequences recorded with cameras mounted in a moving vehicle provide information about the vehicle's environment which has to be analysed in order to really support the driver in actual traffic situations. One type of information is the lane ...
Toward Autonomous Collision Avoidance by Steering
This paper presents a new automotive safety function called Emergency Lane Assist (ELA). ELA combines conventional lane guidance systems with a threat assessment module that tries to activate the lane guidance interventions according to the actual risk ...
