Abstract:
This information collection request (ICR) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation is to seek approval to conduct 11 voluntary information collections as part of a one-time research study involving up to 80 licensed drivers of various ages. The purpose of the research study is to examine the effectiveness of lateral control advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for improving driver response, with specific focus on Lane Departure Warnings (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA). The respondents will participate in two separate driving data collection sessions. Within this study, NHTSA’s contractor, the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), will instrument two research vehicles with data acquisition systems (DAS). The DAS includes video cameras and sensors that allow for collecting continuous data that encompasses driver behavior and vehicle performance. The completion of the two drives will take place on different days. Recruitment of study respondents is from southwest Virginia, specifically the New River Valley and surrounding areas (Roanoke, Salem, etc.). The target for the study is 50 participants, completing both sessions and with valid data collected for each; therefore, the research team will contact up to an estimated 340 potential research participant, to identify approximately 85 respondents who will be eligible for participation and complete the informed consent process, estimating that up to 80 respondents will participate in the driving sessions. Since the research study involves driving sessions on two different days, recruitment of up to 80 respondents is needed to account for attrition and potential replacements to ensure that the research study includes 50 participants who complete both the Session 1 and Session 2 drives. This ICR includes the following information collections: (1) a pre-screening questionnaire; (2) an informed consent form; (3) a vision and hearing evaluation; (4) Knowledge and Opinions Questionnaire; (5) the Session 1 controlled drive; (6) the Session 1 post-condition questionnaire; (7) the Session 1 post-drive questionnaire; (8) the Session 2 naturalistic drive, LDW subset; (9) the Session 2 LDW subset post-drive questionnaire; (10) the Session 2 naturalistic drive, LDW/LKA subset; and (11) the Session 2 LDW/LKA post-drive questionnaire. The purpose of the research study and its associated information collections is to help NHTSA better understand the effectiveness of lateral control systems, the human factors that affect the performance of lane departure warning (LDW) and lane-keep assistance (LKA) systems, and about the system characteristics that will favor better acceptance. This will, in turn, help NHTSA to develop, implement, and maintain effective countermeasures that meet the agency’s mandate to reduce the number of deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on the U.S. highways. The planned data collection activities discussed herein have been approved by Virginia Tech’s Institutional Review Board (IRB). NHTSA will use the information collected to produce a technical report containing summary statistics and tables. No identifying information or individual responses will be reported. The technical report will be made available to a variety of audiences interested in improving highway safety through the agency website and the National Transportation Library. This is a new information collection that is estimated at 272 annual burden hours.
