1617863 - Assisted Human Drivers and Robot Drivers Working Together to Make our Roads Safer

Monday, June 17, 2024
10:15 AM - 11:30 AM ET
Room: 217
Abstract: Thousand are killed and millions are injured each year in vehicle crashes - many of which are caused by driver error and could be prevented with readily available technologies.  Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems (ADS provide a way to effectively and economically prevent these crashes.  This presentation will provide information on why and how we need to do this, including: (1) Preventing us and others from being D-Drivers. (2) Showing the role that ADAS and ADS can play within the context of FHWA Safe System approach in improving safety. (3) How ADAS and ADS standards and how they need to be revised to address both human and robot drivers. (4) How we need to reframe our nation's mindset and approach to reducing vehicle crashes and fatalities.  This presentation coincides with the recently published SAE International EDGE Report tm authored by the presenter, entitled:  "Reducing Human Error and Setting Realistic Expectations with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems."  Attendees will be given information on where they can obtain this report.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees can expect to learn the following from this session:
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to better understand the role of human error in crash causation and how FHWA Safe System approach defines that more completely.
  • Upon completion, participants will have a more complete understanding of how closely related Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS) are becoming.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to see where we need to go with ADAS and ADS standards so we can fully utilize these technologies to make roads safer.
  • Upon completion, participantswill be able to understand how we need to reframe our nation's mindset and approach to reducing vehicle crashes and fatalities.
