Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for this new information collection request (ICR) to conduct 6 new voluntary information collections as part of a one-time research program examining drivers’ interactions with crash avoidance technology with different human-machine interface (HMI) characteristics. Crash avoidance warning systems aid vehicle drivers in avoiding crashes by presenting alerts and warnings to inform drivers of situations in which the system has determined, via sensor information, that a crash is possible. These systems communicate the occurrence of such conditions to drivers via different sensory modalities, such as visual or auditory signals or vibration of the seat or steering wheel. The research will examine how the characteristics of the visual, auditory, and/or haptic (i.e., touch) signals presented by the system may affect the driver’s response to a crash-imminent situation. This research will help inform NHTSA’s rulemaking activities relating to crash avoidance technologies. The research will involve driver behavior observation while driving on a test track, public road, or in a simulated environment (i.e., driving simulator) as means of collecting needed data. Data collection may also involve stationary laboratory measurements relating to crash avoidance warning signal characteristics, such as stationary laboratory measurements of individuals’ visual angles when gazing at in-vehicle visual signals (e.g., instrument panel symbols) and displays. Experimental data collection will include measurements such as those relating to driving performance, vehicle control metrics, and eye glance behavior. Study participants are members of the general public and include licensed car and/or commercial truck drivers aged 25 to 65 who are healthy and able to drive without assistive devices. The full information collection request includes six information collections: Interest Response Form, Candidate Screening Questions, Appointment Scheduling, Informed Consent, Experimental Data Collection, and Post-Drive Questionnaire. Data collection will begin upon receipt of PRA clearance. Response to this information collection is voluntary and will be conducted in phases corresponding to the different crash avoidance warning system types to be examined (i.e., forward, lateral, and rear crash avoidance). This is a new information collection that is estimated at 239 annual burden hours and $7,200 annual opportunity costs.
