Abstract

Using driving simulation, this study investigated the effects of driver's trust in the adaptive cruise control (ACC) system and road density on driver's workload and situation awareness. The drivers were allocated into one of four experimental conditions manipulated by ACC system trust level (trust-increased vs. trust-decreased) and road congestion (high vs. low). The workload and situational awareness of the participants were measured as dependent variables. The results showed followings. First, trust-decreased group for the ACC system had significantly lower trust scores for the system in all of the measurement items, including reducing the driving load and securing safe driving due to the use of this system, than the trust-increased group. Second, the trust-decreased group showed a slower reaction time in the secondary tasks and higher subjective workload than trust-increased group. Third, in contrast, the situational awareness for the driving situation was significantly higher in the trust-decreased group than trust-increased group. The results of this study showed that the driver's trust in the ACC system can affect the various information processing performed while driving. Also, these results suggest that trust in the user's system should be considered as an important variable in the design of an automated driving assistance system.

본 연구에서는 운전 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 적응형 정속 주행(adaptive cruise control: ACC) 시스템에 대한 운전자의 신뢰 및 도로 혼잡도가 운전자의 작업부하와 상황인식에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. ACC 시스템에 대한 운전자의 신뢰는 ACC 시스템이 정상 작동하는 조건과 시스템이 오작동하는 조건을 통해 신뢰상승 집단과 신뢰감소 집단으로 구분하였다. 도로 혼잡도는 운전자 차량 주변의 차량 수로 수준을 조작하였다. ACC 시스템에 대한 신뢰와 도로 혼잡도를 달리한 네 가지의 실험 조건 각각에 대해 운전자들의 작업부하와 상황인식을 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 ACC 시스템에 대한 신뢰감소 집단은 신뢰상승 집단에 비해 이 시스템의 사용으로 인한 운전부담 경감이나 안전운전 확보 등을 포함한 측정 항목 모두에서 시스템에 대한 신뢰 점수가 유의하게 더 낮았다. 둘째, ACC 시스템에 대한 신뢰감소 집단은 신뢰상승 집단에 비해 이차과제에서 더 느린 반응시간을 보였고, 시스템 사용에서의 주관적인 작업부하 수준도 더 높게 평정하였다. 셋째, 이와는 대조적으로 운전자들의 운전상황에 대한 상황인식은 ACC 시스템 신뢰감소 집단이 신뢰상승 집단보다 유의하게 더 우수하였다. 본 연구의 결과들은 ACC 시스템에 대한 신뢰가 운전 중에 수행하는 다양한 정보처리에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보였는데, 이것은 자동화된 운전보조 시스템의 설계에서 사용자의 시스템에 대한 신뢰가 중요한 변인으로 고려되어야 한다는 것을 시사한다.
