Abstract

In order to make autonomous vehicles more trustworthy, it is necessary to focus on the users of autonomous vehicles. By evaluating the preferences for driving behaviors of autonomous vehicles, we aim to identify driving behaviors that increase the acceptance of users in autonomous vehicles. We implemented two driving behaviors, aggressive and cautious, in a driving simulator and allowed users to experience them. Biometric data was collected during the ride, and pre- and post-riding surveys were conducted. Subjects were categorized into two groups based on their driving habits and analyzed against the collected biometric data. Both aggressive and cautious driving subjects preferred the cautious driving behavior of autonomous vehicles.

자율주행차량을 신뢰하고 탑승하도록 하기 위해서 자율주행 차량에 탑승하는 이용자를 위한 고민이 필요해지고 있다. 자율주행 차량 주행 행태에 대한 선호도를 평가하여 이용자의 자율주행차량 탑승 만족도를 높이는 주행행태를 찾아내고자 한다. 실험환경은 드라이빙 시뮬레이터에 공격적인 운전과 방어적인 운전 두 가지 자율주행 성향을 구현하고, 체험할 수 있도록 하였다. 탑승시 생체데이터를 수집하고, 탑승 전·후 설문조사를 실시하였다. 운전 습관에 따라 2그룹으로 분류하고, 수집한 생체데이터와 비교 분석하였다. 공격적인 성향의 운전자와 조심운전 성향의 운전자 모두 자율주행차량의 조심운전 주행행태를 선호하였다.
