Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective scores derived from driving performance in driving simulator, main study parameters are the number of crashes and traffic conflicts (near crashes) and a compound score for hindrance to other traffic based on the deviation of the speed from the optimal speed for the various road and traffic situations. Secondary parameters are the average and standard deviation of lateral position on straight sections and around intersections. Norm violations are also investigated as well as workload, acceptance, and trust in the system. | — |
