Examining Driver Hand-off and Take-over of AVs at J-turn Intersections

J-turn intersections help to reduce fatal and serious crash risks at rural intersections. However, the novelty of the design can result in poor community acceptance and risk of navigational errors. Combining the J-turn intersection with ADAS technologies may introduce new challenges with drivers’ manually taking over ADAS at J-turns due to low trust or exaggerated out-of-the-loop errors at J-turns. This study will aim to develop a driving simulation and study methodology to examine driver take-over decisions and performance at J-turn intersections. The simulation will develop ADAS enabled driving scenarios to allow the hand-off or take-over at rural divided highway intersections with and without J-turn intersection treatments. The goal will be to prepare the needed test environment for future data collection studies.
