Abstract

Human factors in intelligent transportation systems is an important topic for the application of automatic platooning technology, since driver´s behaviors play a critical role in the safety of the normal driving as well as in an emergent situation during automatic platooning. In our research group, a novel truck-driving-simulator for the automatic platooning of trucks was constructed for the evaluation of the driver´s behaviors in the different driving conditions. In virtue of the truck-driving-simulator, three types of human-machine interface (HMI) systems, including numerics, graphics, and numerics and graphics, were utilized in the driving experiment of the automatic platooning, and the three types of HMI systems were evaluated by 10 professional truck drivers cooperated the driving experiment.
