Abstract:

A Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure System (CVIS) simulation test platform was built based on driving simulation technology and conducted experiments to clarify the visual distraction effect of the CVIS, and to improve the safety application level of CVIS in the scene of freeway work zone. An index system was constructed from two levels of fixation allocation and distraction degree. Paired sample T-test and nonparametric test were used to compare the differences between with and without CVIS of each index. After using the vehicle terminal Human-Machine Interface (HMI), the ratios of time and frequency of fixation on the road ahead significantly dropped, while the distraction index and unit distraction index significantly increased. The results show that the HMI of CVIS occupies the driver's visual resources and is prone to cause distraction. Therefore, carrying out the CVIS safety assessment and HMI design optimization is necessary.

Key words: cooperative vehicle infrastructure system (CVIS), freeway work zone, human-machine interface (HMI), driving simulation, visual characteristics, driving distraction
