The RESPONSE project (Vehicle Automation - Driver Responsibility - Provider Liability - Legal and Institutional Consequences, collaborative research project within the Telematics Application Programme of the European's Fourth Framework) aims to link a user-oriented development and testing of future Advanced Drivers Assistance Systems (ADAS) with legal aspects raised by examination and market introduction. This document is a part of the theoretical assessment and recommendations for system development and testing and provides an overview on concepts of system safety, driver performance, and Driver-System Interaction. Different safety concepts and analysis methods of various technological areas will be assessed. The actual status of the research in driver performance and Driver-System Interaction is described and consequences for human reliability are given. In summary, the document can be used as a basis for the derivation of consequences for theoretical assessment including the development of a draft checklist of assessment of ADAS with respect to safety and driver compatibility.
