Abstract:
Freeway driving in foggy conditions poses significant safety risks and accident hazards. The connected collision warning information system (CCWIS) offers a novel approach to addressing this challenge, and its impact on driving behavior is fundamental to demonstrating its effectiveness. This study employed driving simulation technology to create a CCWIS testing platform. Considering dense fog weather conditions, it designs two driving environments: a baseline traditional and a comparative connected. And a typical collision risk scenario involving a sudden braking maneuver by a slow-moving vehicle ahead was constructed. A total of 27 participants were recruited to conduct driving simulation experiments to yield fine-grained microscopic data on driving behavior. An evaluation indicator system was developed from multiple dimensions, including stability, safety, and compliance, to quantitatively describe and statistically analyze the effectiveness of CCWIS during different interaction stages with the lead vehicle (slow-speed car-following and the frout vehicle emergency braking stage). The results indicate that, regarding stability, collision warning information may lead to a decrease in driving stability for a period during the slow-speed car-following stage. After the vehicle in the slow-speed car-following stage has decelerated to a stable state and during the front vehicle emergency braking stage, it exhibits better stability compared to scenarios without collision warning information. In terms of safety, collision warning information significantly reduces risks in terms of time, acceleration, and distance across multiple dimensions during the driving process. Regarding compliance, collision warning information can improve the level of driver compliance with preceding vehicle information, reducing the differences in driver compliance with preceding vehicle information between the slow-speed car-following and the front vehicle emergency braking stages. The results of this study can provide platform and theoretical support for the test and application of connected collision warning information systems in foggy environments of freeways. © 2025 South China University of Technology.
