Abstract

Crash prevention systems will only be effective if drivers keep the features turned on. Drivers were surveyed about keeping front crash prevention (FCP), lane departure prevention (LDP), or blind spot monitoring (BSM) systems on all the time following personal use of 5 production vehicles. The desire to keep FCP and LDP on all the time varied across vehicles. Overall, 94% of drivers agreed or strongly agreed they would leave BSM on, 79% reported they would leave FCP on, while 54% would leave LDP on. Drivers were more likely to agree to keeping FCP on that provided warnings they understood and warned infrequently. LDP systems judged to be more useful, less annoying, and that consistently detect lane markings significantly predicted whether drivers would leave them turned on. Designers of advanced driver assistance systems should focus on these attributes of FCP and LDP systems to encourage use.
