Exploring relationships between observed activation rates and functional attributes of lane departure prevention.

CONCLUSION: The study identified functional characteristics (i.e., timing of steering input, prevention of departures more than 35 cm) of lane departure prevention systems that were strongly associated with observed activation of these systems in privately owned vehicles. Although this relationship does not imply causation, the findings support the hypothesis that functional characteristics of lane departure prevention systems affect their use. Designers may be able to use these results to maximize driver acceptance of future implementations of lane departure prevention. PMID: 31074631 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
