A study on driver training on advanced driver assistance systems by using a driving simulator

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) are making continuous progress in order to solve issues in vehicle traffic. However, drivers cannot adjust to these advances, because ADAS can assist even complicated driving behaviors that require higher skills. The more advanced the driving interactions ADAS can perform, the more risk the system may have when used by drivers who have insufficient knowledge of the system. Thus, it is important to establish teaching or training methods, which enable drivers to become educated about ADAS. In this study, we developed a driving simulator for teaching or training drivers. Using the driving simulator, the drivers can make the most of ADAS, the use of which will become more widespread and advanced. In this paper, the importance of teaching and training for driver is explained first. Details of the driving simulator developed in this study are then described. Finally, the results of the simulation development are summarized.
