Abstract
International audience; —This paper presents a study carried out within the context of Level 3 automated driving. It aims to characterize drivers takeover behaviour by exploring quantitative data related to the driver's performance (vehicle data) and qualitative data (user experience [...]Abstract
Drivers struggle to understand how, and when, to safely use their cars&rsquo complex automated functions. Training is necessary but costly and time consuming. A Digital In-Car Tutor (DIT) is proposed to support drivers in learning about, and trying out, their car automation during [...]Abstract
Conventional road transport has negative impact on the environment. Stimulating eco-driving through feedback to the driver about his/her energy conservation performance has the potential to reduce CO"inf"2"/inf" emissions and promote fuel cost savings. Not all drivers respond well [...]Abstract
The study compares accidents at passive and active railway level crossings, and both immediate and background risk factors are considered. Passive railway level crossings have no warning devices, although there might be a static warning sign. Active level crossings are equipped with [...]Abstract
There is a trend in Advanced Driver Assistance systems towards increased automation. Current systems and near-future systems will not yet be able to deal with all different situations that can be encountered and therefore need to share control of the vehicle with the driver. To safely [...]Abstract
The involvement of cyclists in road crashes has not been decreasing with the same magnitude as the involvement of other road users. In particular, the interactions between cyclists and motorized traffic can lead to high-severity crashes. To improve the safety of these interactions, [...]Abstract
Co-operative driving with speed adaptation functionality has great potential to improve traffic-throughput, traffic-safety, and environmental-impact on heavily used traffic-infrastructures. A driving-simulator study was performed to investigate the driver behaviour with respect to [...]
