Abstract
Conditionally automated vehicles are the next major step in automation, making it possible for driver’s to engage in non-driving related tasks on dedicated roads or lanes on highways. However, this introduces the ”out-of-the-loop problem” because drivers are neither in physical control nor monitoring their surroundings, resulting in lower situational awareness. Then, if a scenario occurs in which the vehicle is unable to react accordingly, drivers may suddenly have to take over control of the vehicle, which can lead to dangerous situations. This paper investigates whether it is possible to increase a driver’s situational awareness. A driving simulator experiment was designed in which an LED strip was mounted below the screens that gave information about surrounding vehicles. Participants (n = 6) conducted two trials: (1) with LED strip, and (2) without LED strip, and during automated driving, they were engaged in a non-driving related task on a tablet placed near the gearshift lever until a take-over request occurred. No significant results were found, however, trends show a higher situational awareness when the LED strip was active.
