Abstract
Few studies exist to help assess whether drivers of vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) experience a change in crash risk specific to the use of these automated features. The objectives of this study are to 1) Investigate driver behavior and the associated risks of ADAS use; 2) Fill a critical knowledge gap by providing information regarding the potential for changes in driver error, drowsiness, secondary task engagement (STE), and eye-glance behavior (e.g., surrogates for distracted driving behaviors) relative to ADAS use; and 3) Investigate changes in safety-critical event (SCE; i.e., crash or near-crash) risk related to the use of ADAS.
