Abstract
Adaptive interfaces are being developed to avoid drivers’ overload and distraction. 24 drivers, assigned in two groups according to their braking reaction time, participated in a driving simulator study experiencing incidents of concurrent warnings by two support systems. Warnings were provided either independently or via an adaptive interface in which one audio warning was intensified and the other was suppressed. The driving behaviour of the two groups was different, drivers with longer reaction times should be specifically considered when designing adaptive interfaces. The employed adaptive strategy caused changes in the driving behaviour of participants with shorter reaction time, another adaptive strategy, possibly generating warnings earlier, may be more appropriate for drivers with longer reaction times. The metrics that were more sensitive in identifying changes in driving behaviour are mean speed during incident, standard deviation of speed, standard deviation of lateral position and minimum time headway to lead vehicle.
