Abstract
Over the past 15 years major technological changes have taken place in the field of automotive technology, in particular with the design and implementation of new driver support and information management systems. The development of these new systems raises crucial questions at a technical level as well as in terms of their consequences on driver activity. A major concern is about the “behavioural adaptations” that may occur in response to the introduction of these systems in the driving task and their impacts on road safety. Within the European Project Adaptive Integrated Driver–vehicle InterfacE (AIDE), a specific research activity is dedicated to the identification of crucial behavioural adaptation aspects associated with the use of new driver support systems and of the specification of most relevant parameters that can be implemented in models for supporting design and safety assessment processes.
