Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are nowadays becoming a standard equipment in an increasing number of commercial vehicles. These systems are meant to provide assistance to drivers for improving road-traffic safety. While the state-of-the-art in ADAS technology is already at an advanced stage, there are still open issues related to user acceptance. In fact, it is essential for users to perceive the systems’ behavior as safe and comfortable. This paper proposes a methodology for evaluating the acceptability of ACC systems using a dynamic driving simulator with surrounding vehicles driven by additional human drivers. This approach is intended to obtain realistic maneuvers for all the simulation actors without the need of a precise driver behavioral model to be used in a traffic engine. Moreover, some tools have been developed for improving the repeatability of the additional human driver, allowing him to have a consistent performance throughout the whole experimental campaign. Driver-in-the-Loop simulation results show the consistency of the participants evaluation about the ACC system when surrounding vehicles are driven by a traffic engine with a quiet attitude or by an additional human driver with an unpredictable and sometimes nervous behavior. The simulation results also suggest that comfort and safety evaluations by the driver become almost the same indicator when interacting with other traffic agents, even during aggressive maneuvers.
