Digital Support Systems for Cyclists: Early Hazard Notifications and their Implementation Challenges
Tamara von Sawitzky, Thomas Grauschopf, Andreas RienerConference room
- Hazard notifications informing bicyclists about potential hazards could be a measure to improve cyclist safety.
- Such notifications should indicate the hazard type, its relative direction and the elapsed time (approach to hazard).
- Participants rated cycling with hazard notifications significantly higher in terms of perceived safety than unassisted rides.
- One major challenges to overcome is over-reliance on the notifications, which could lead to inattention to other hazards.
- Notifications only indicate that a hazard may occur, not that it will, and could be misinterpreted as "false positives".
