Abstract

There have been rapid advances in control and automated driving aids in today's cars, with a concomitant rise in the breadth and complexity of driver interaction. Thus there is a need for a clear, consistent, logical, and holistic design methodology to the design and analysis of the driver-vehicle interaction environment. Such design method should also take into account expected future technological enhancements and advances. In this paper we present some emerging automated driving aids that are currently implemented in modern vehicles and those that are anticipated in the coming years. We focus on three automation features -- adaptive cruise control (ACC), Lane Centering (LC), and Full Speed Range ACC (FSRA). The design methodology is based on formal modeling of the functionality and user interaction of these systems and analysis of their corresponding user interfaces. The approach demonstrated here is valid for a wide range of user interaction systems where operational complexity requires careful and verifiable design.
