Abstract
The application of advanced technology sensors, processors and software will have significant influence on highway vehicle safety in the coming decade. Advanced vehicle sensors and processing already play a significant role in AVCS (automatic vehicle control systems), so the application to collision avoidance systems will amount to an extension of current on-board sensing, processing and control systems. The main issues to be resolved will be the driver/system interface and the driver's reaction to and effective integration within the CAS. Because of the diverse nature of the driving population, and inability to provide consistent orientation or training, the CAS will have to be designed as a natural extension of the driver's current role in driving. Also, several types of CASs are envisioned to address different accident categories, so some form of integration must be provided to make the various systems compatible. There also must be some commonality of operation between different vehicle models so that drivers can easily and safely transition to different systems.

Designing human-centered automation: trade-offs in collision avoidance system design

TL;DR: This work develops a systematic approach to human-centered automation in advanced vehicle systems using a multiattribute decomposition of human and automation goals, and uses both the satisficing decision principle and the domination principle to identify performance evaluations.

Driver-adaptive lane departure warning systems

TL;DR: This thesis focuses on a particular type of accident, known as Run-Off-Road (ROR), and proposes a novel “alarm decision model,” which takes into account road geometry and past driver behavior, and a training algorithm which tunes certain model parameters to an individual driver.

Preliminary studies in haptic displays for rear-end collision avoidance system and adaptive cruise control system applications

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of haptic displays for rear-end collision avoidance warnings is examined, and the authors suggest that active steering displays should be reserved for future collision avoidance system integration.

Reducing steering wheel stiffness is beneficial in supporting evasive maneuvers

TL;DR: A method to preserve driver's choice and maneuver initiation through the use of a temporarily unstable steering wheel is presented and shows that the haptic interface effectively reduced the number of crashes, decreased response time with at least 100 ms while reducing the control effort and activity in the most critical situations.
