Blind spot monitors (BSMs), which inform a driver about the existence of the other vehicle at a blind spot, are installed on a driving simulator to evaluate their effectiveness during manually performing a lane change. The investigated BSMs are two: one is enable to tell the directional information, i.e., in which direction (left or right) the other vehicle exists; and the other is merely tells the existence of the other vehicle without conveying any directional information. The case after the transition from the automated driving to the manual driving is also investigated in this experiment.
