Summary

In a recent study with N = 50 subjects, the lane keeping assistant was tested on more than 3,500 km on public roads in the Allgäu. To test the various settings of the lane keeping assistant, different conditions were testet: 120 km/h versus 160 km/h as well as with versus without lane keeping assistant. The evaluation of the criteria for lane keeping assitant, such as edge management and degree of relief show a significant relationship with the experienced workload. The increased workload as well as stress when using the lane keeping assistant system could be detected and proved subjectively as well as with physiological measuring devices. The significantly higher stress experienced with the use of the lane keeping assistant system shows the immense importance that the further research on this system has.
