必须加强老年人在道路上的安全，以确保他们的日常生活质量。在盲道交叉口发生的未遂事件或事故通常是由于驾驶员和其他道路使用者（行人和骑自行车的人）之间的行为冲突造成的。在盲道交叉口的背景下，未能寻找潜在的冲突是一个与道路安全有关的问题。所提出的辅助系统执行主动制动干预，以在不确定的情况下实现参考速度，例如未被观察到的行人可能会启动过马路。主动制动干预试图管理与隐蔽危险有关的潜在撞车风险。由于自动化系统可能会损害人类在驾驶时感知和应对危险情况的能力，因此本研究旨在研究主动制动干预和视觉支持线索对老年人和年轻驾驶员应对潜在危险情况信息的能力的影响。我们进行了一项公共道路驾驶实验，涉及108名老年人和年轻司机从两个不重叠的年龄组。据观察，通过主动制动干预实现的车辆减速使驾驶员能够在盲点附近进行安全确认，并使他们对潜在的危险更加敏感和警惕。这种方法不仅对老年司机有效，而且对年轻或经验不足的司机也有效。(c)2021爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
It is imperative to enhance the safety of elderly individuals on the roads to ensure the quality of their daily life. Near-miss incidents or accidents at blind intersections often result from a conflict between the behaviors of the driver and of other road users (pedestrians and cyclists). The failure to search for potential conflict in the context of blind intersections is a concern pertaining to road safety. The proposed assistance system performs a proactive braking intervention to achieve a referenced velocity in uncertain situations, such as one in which an unobserved pedestrian might initiate a road crossing. The proactive braking intervention attempts to manage the potential risk of crashing with respect to covert hazards. Because an automated system may impair a human's ability to perceive and respond to hazardous situations while driving, this study was designed to examine the effects of proactive braking intervention and visual support cues on elderly and younger drivers' ability to respond to information about potentially hazardous situations. We conducted a public-road driving experiment involving 108 elderly and younger drivers from two non overlapping age groups. It was observed that the vehicle slowdown realized through the proactive braking intervention enabled the drivers to perform safety confirmation near blind spots and caused them to be more sensitive to and wary of potential hazards. This approach could be effective not only for elderly drivers, but also for young or inexperienced ones.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
