What happened
Ian Reagan of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety studied the Mobileye-630, an aftermarket system that gives several crash avoidance warnings. The systems were installed in 21 privately owned vehicles, and telematics in 15 of them. Warning rates were recorded over a 4-week baseline period and an 8-week treatment period. Rates for forward collision, lane departure and headway monitoring warnings fell by 30 to 70%. Rural drivers had lower rates than urban drivers. Speeding during treatment was similar to baseline. In a survey, 62% of participants agreed that Mobileye helped improve their safety while driving. Many drivers wanted less conservative warning thresholds. The study appeared in the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics in 2019. The sample was small, and the abstract gives no crash outcomes. It does not say whether drivers saw warnings during the baseline or how the system detects hazards.

Reagan, I. J. Effects of an aftermarket crash avoidance system on warning rates and driver acceptance in urban and rural environments. Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics, 2019.
Rates for three warning systems (forward collision warning, lane departure warning, headway monitoring) decreased by 30 to 70%.
Details
AI system
- Workflow
-
Aftermarket units gave forward collision, lane departure and headway warnings. Telematics were installed in 15 of the 21 vehicles.
Follow-up
- Conditions for replication
-
Drivers avoid the behaviors that trigger the warnings. Drivers accept the warning thresholds, which many found too conservative.
Entry details
- Sector
-
Road vehicle crash avoidance.
- Purpose
-
Mobileye built the Mobileye-630 to give drivers forward collision, lane departure and headway warnings in vehicles that lack such systems.
