Abstract
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport established safety standards for Level 3 autonomous vehicles for the first time in the world in December 2019, and specified the safety standards for conditional autonomous driving systems. Accordingly, it is necessary to analyze the influence of various driving environments on take-over. In this study, using a driving simulator, we investigated how traffic conditions and weather conditions affect take-over time and stabilization time. The experimental procedure was conducted in the order of preliminary training, practice driving, and test driving, and the test driving was conducted by dividing into a traffic density and geometry experiment and a weather environment experiment. As a result of the experiment, it was analyzed that the traffic volume and weather environment did not affect the take-over time and take-over stabilization time, and only the curve radius affects take-over stabilization time.
