With the rapid development of intelligent driving technology, there has been a growing interest in the driving comfort of automated vehicles. As vehicles become more automated, the role of the driver shifts from actively engaging in driving tasks to that of a passenger. Consequently, the study of the passenger experience in automated driving vehicles has emerged as a significant research area. In order to examine the impact of automatic driving on passengers' riding experience in vehicle platooning scenarios, this study conducted real vehicle experiments involving six participants. The study assessed the subjective perception scores, eye movement, and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of passengers seated in the front passenger seat under various vehicle speeds, distances, and driving modes. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that vehicle speed has the most substantial influence on passenger perception.

Aiming at the problems of long lane change intention recognition, complicated lane change model, and huge amount of processing data in the current research, this paper uses principal component analysis to improve the driver’s lane change intention recognition model using traditional pattern recognition. Firstly collect 7 parameters including driver operation and vehicle running characteristics. After data standardization and PCA (principal component analysis), the top three principal components that can reflect the information content of the original data are nearly 90%. Then, a lane-change intent recognition model based on GMM-HMM was established, three lane change intents cannot be directly observed as the hidden state of the model; and three principal component quantities obtained through linear changes are used as observational measurements.
