Developing a Framework and Identifying Tools to Enhance ADAS Training, Information, and Education

Despite the widespread integration of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) in modern vehicles, a significant gap remains in user understanding and proper use, which can lead to critical safety issues. Training, information, and education for drivers are methods that may address these gaps. Researchers have assessed the preliminary efficacy of ADAS training and education among various driving populations via the use of different training processes, content, and medium. However, training drivers to understand and use ADAS is a complex, multifaceted process, that is influenced by multiple factors, making it difficult to draw conclusions from the current state of the literature. Developing a framework examining the various factors and their interactions would be of benefit to the driver safety community and facilitate the development of new ADAS training and education by stakeholders. The main goal of this workshop is to establish a framework and identify tools that can be used to optimize the effectiveness of ADAS training and education. Discussions among participants will inform the framework, which is intended to improve user understanding and usage of ADAS systems and lead to safe and responsible use.
