The present study examines the effectiveness of a driver assistance system to indicate the lane change possible area on the road by comparing a conventional assistance system that indicates information on the door mirror. The proposed and the conventional assistance systems are constructed on a driving simulator and evaluated through the simulator experiments. The proposed assistance system prevents dangerous lane changes when the intervehicle distance is relatively short, and encourages lane changes when the intervehicle distance relatively long. The proposed assistance system makes it easier for drivers to make lane changing decisions, reducing the number of lane change passes. In addition, the proposed assistance system shortens the time it takes to start a lane change, as the driver makes it possible to determine in advance whether a lane change is possible. As a result, the proposed assistance system enables safe and efficient lane changing.
