Luo, Y. (author), Saberi, A.K. (author), Bijlsma, T. (author), Lukkien, J.J. (author), van den Brand, M. (author)Introduction of automated driving increases complexity of automotive systems. As a result, architecture design becomes a major concern for ensuring non-functional requirements such as safety, and modifiability. In the ISO 26262 standard, architecture patterns are recommended for system development. However, the existing architecture patterns may...conference paper 2017

van Nunen, E. (author), Esposto, F. (author), Saberi, A.K. (author), Paardekooper, J.P. (author)This paper addresses safety indicators for truck platooning at short inter-vehicle distances (with a time gap of 0.5 s). The aim of a safety indicator is to determine the correct moment for initiating a Collision Avoidance brake action to prevent a collision with the preceding truck in threatening situations. Three safety indicators are selected...conference paper 2017

de Gelder, E. (author), Cara, I. (author), Uittenbogaard, J. (author), Kroon, L. (author), van Iersel, S. (author), Hogema, J. (author)More and more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs) are entering the market for improving both safety and comfort. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an ADAS application that has high interaction with the driver. ACC systems use limited sensor input and have only few configuration possibilities. This may result in the behaviour of the ACC not...conference paper 2016

Calvert, S.C. (author), Wilmink, I.R. (author), Soekroella, A.M.G. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Abstract—With increasing numbers of vehicles using low level automation and higher level automation expected in the future, significant effects are expected on traffic flow. Despite much simulation and driving simulator research on SAE level 1 vehicles, there remain many questions in regard to the effects of the systems on traffic flow. The...conference paper 2016

Physiological correlates of mental effort as manipulated through lane width during simulated drivingBrouwer, A.M. (author), Dijksterhuis, C. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)Previous studies suggest that physiological effects of mental effort as manipulated trough cognitive task difficulty differ from effects of mental effort as manipulated trough a visuomotor task such as lane keeping in simulated driving. Most notably, heart rate increases with mental effort in the former but not in the latter task. EEG seems to...conference paper 2015
