One approach to increasing safety in road traffic is to assist drivers by means of an active hazard braking system. To assess drivers’ behaviour, an interdisciplinary team of scientists from the Chair of Automotive Engineering (FZD) and the Institute of Ergonomics (IAD) of TU Darmstadt (Germany) has worked on behalf of six industrial partners (Audi, Bosch, BMW, Continental, MAN and Opel) in the scope of the Aktiv (Adaptive and Cooperative Technologies for Intelligent Traffic) research initiative [1], which is promoted by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economy and Technology.
