5 TestingTesting onon PublicPublic RoadsRoads 4) Concept of Evaluation 1. Verifying system functions y Determining whether roadside units and on-board units are functioning as required with regard to data collection, processing, and supply functions. y Determining whether multiple ways of detecting phenomena, having different implementation costs, are capable of adequate detection of phenomena. (Evaluation indices) Detection rates by sensors and interpretation software, etc. 2. Verifying system effectiveness based on vehicle behavior • Determining whether drivers adequately follow the expected behavior upon receiving information. ( Evaluation indices) Presence of sudden braking, abrupt steering, etc. 3. Verifying system effectiveness based on driver opinions • Determining whether drivers actually perceive the system's intended effects. ( Evaluation indices ) Perceived level of effectiveness, willingness to pay, effectiveness of information supply, desire to continue using the system, etc.
