The Value of Site-Based Observations Complementary to Naturalistic Driving Observations: A Pilot Study on the Right Turn Manoeuvre

Naturalistic driving studies are increasingly applied in different shapes and sizes. The European project PROLOGUE has investigated the value and feasibility of a large-scale naturalistic driving study in Europe. Within PROLOGUE several pilot studies have been conducted in different countries. The Dutch field trial investigated the value and...

The Value of Combining Naturalistic Driving Observations with Site-Based Observations: A Pilot Study on the Right-Turn Maneuver

Human factors in automotive innovation

Many automotive innovations affect the driver's task and/or the driving experience. In this paper we argue that successful innovation in these cases requires that due attention is given to Human Factors issues in the course of the innovation process. We support this claim by examples from several recent and ongoing innovation projects. To...

The experimental setup of a large field operational test for cooperative driving vehicles at the A270

In this paper, a large field operational test (FOT) for cooperative driving systems, which take place on a public highway, is discussed. The experimental setup consist of a specific driver support system, which is closely related to cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) systems. Instead of autonomous vehicles, drivers are precisely advised...

Adaptive interfaces in driving

The automotive domain is an excellent domain for investigating augmented cognition methods, and one of the domains that can provide the applications. We developed, applied and tested indirect (or derived) measures to estimate driver state risks, validated by direct state-sensing methods, with major European vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and...

Daadwerkelijk rijgedrag met Het Nieuwe Rijden

TNS NIPO has conducted a motivation survey in August 2008, in which they asked car drivers whether they were aware of the tips of the Dutch Ecodriven Program (HNR) and whether they actually drove according to these tips. The results show that 94% of the respondents claim to drive according to one or more of the HNR-tips. The aim of the current...

Driving with a congestion assistant: Mental workload and acceptance

New driver support systems are developed and introduced to the market at increasing speed. In conditions of traffic congestion drivers may be supported by a" Congestion Assistant", a system that combines the features of a Congestion Warning System (acoustic warning and gas pedal counterforce) and a Stop & Go system (automatic gas and brake pedal...

Attuning in-car user interfaces to the momentary cognitive load

Cars, trucks and busses are more and more equipped with functions and services that drivers are supposed to operate and understand. The most important developments in this area are the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and In Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). In order to make sure that the driver understands and appreciates (comfort)...

Behavioral effects of driving with lane departure warning assistant systems: A field operational test

Structuring automated vehicle guidance knowledge in The Netherlands

This paper describes the set-up of a AVG knowledge database from the AVV Transport Research Centre from the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. The database provides a categorised overview of all research performed in The Netherlands in the area of Automatic Vehicle Guidance (AVG). Two analyses are performed on the...

Mental fatigue after very severe closed head injury: Sustained performance, mental effort, and distress at two levels of workload in a driving simulator

In patients with very severe closed head injury (CHI), returning to work is often problematic. The present study focuses on a persistent complaint of these patients, viz. mental fatigue. To study this, the effect of sustained workload is assessed in a continuous dynamic divided attention task. Three types of measures are employed: performance...
