Abstract

This paper proposes a novel driver support system named DAMS (dynamic angling mirror system) for enhancing driver recognition of a vehicle in the blind spot when his or her vehicle is going to change lanes. The DAMS moves the corresponding side-view mirror dynamically when another vehicle entered the blind spot. A cognitive experiment with a driving simulator was conducted to investigate effectiveness of the DAMS. In addition, we have modified the original DAMS. The new one is named EDAMS (enhanced dynamic angling mirror system), which turns on a lamp when the system changes the yaw angle of the side-view mirror for supporting driverpsilas situation awareness. The result of an experiment suggests that EDAMS is more effective and acceptable than the conventional DAMS.
