Recent developments in advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on some level of autonomy have led the automobile industry and research community to investigate the impact they might have on driving performance. However, most of the research performed so far is based on simulated environments. In this study, we investigated the behavior of drivers in a vehicle with automated driving system (ADS) capabilities in a real-life driving scenario. We analyzed their response to a take over request (TOR) at two different driving speeds while being engaged in non-driving-related tasks (NDRT). Results from the performed experiments showed that driver reaction time to a TOR, gaze behavior and self-reported trust in automation were affected by the type of NDRT being concurrently performed and driver reaction time and gaze behavior additionally depended on the driving or vehicle speed at the time of TOR.

Levels one to three of driving automation systems~(DAS) are spreading fast. However, as the DAS functions become more and more sophisticated, not only the drivers driving skills will reduce, but also the problem of over-trust will become serious. If a driver has over-trust in the DAS, he/she will become not aware of hazards in time. To prevent the drivers over-trust in the DAS, this paper discusses the followings: 1) the definition of over-trust in the DAS, 2) a hypothesis of occurrence condition and occurrence process of over-trust in the DAS, and 3) a driving behavior model based on the trust in the DAS, the risk homeostasis theory, and the over-trust prevention human-machine interface.
Predicting a drivers cognitive state, or more specifically, modeling a drivers reaction time (RT) in response to the appearance of a potential hazard warrants urgent research. In the last two decades, the electric field that is generated by the activ ities in the brain, monitored by an electroencephalogram (EEG), has been proven to be a robust physiological indicator of human behavior. However, mapping the human brain can be extremely challenging, especially owing to the variability in human beings over time, both within and among individuals. Factors such as fatigue, inattention and stress can induce homeostatic changes in the brain, which affect the observed relationship between brain dynamics and behavioral performance, and thus make the existing systems for predicting RT difficult to generalize. To solve this problem, an ensemble-based weighted prediction system is presented herein. This system comprises a set of prediction submodels that are individually trained using groups of data with similar EEG-RT relationships. To obtain a final prediction, the prediction outcomes of the sub-models are then multiplied by weights that are derived from the EEG alpha coherences of 10 channels plus theta band powers of 30 channels, whose changes were found to be indicators of variations in the EEG-RT relationship. The results thus obtained reveal that the proposed system with a time-varying adaptive weighting mechanism significantly outperforms the conventional system in modeling a drivers RT. The adaptive design of the proposed system demonstrates its feasibility in coping with the variability in the brain-behavior relationship. In this contribution surprisingly simple EEG-based adaptive methods are used in combination with an ensemble scheme to significantly increase system performance.

The Thinking Wave is an ongoing development of visualization concepts showing the real-time effort and confidence of semi-autonomous vehicle (AV) systems. Offering drivers access to this information can inform their decision making, and enable them t o handle the situation accordingly and takeover when necessary. Two different visualizations have been designed, Concept one, Tidal, demonstrates the AV systems effort through intensified activity of a simple graphic which fluctuates in speed and frequency. Concept two, Tandem, displays the effort of the AV system as well as the handling dynamic and shared responsibility between the driver and the vehicle system. Working collaboratively with mobility research teams at the University of Tokyo, we are prototyping and refining the Thinking Wave and its embodiments as we work towards building a testable version integrated into a driving simulator. The development of the thinking wave aims to calibrate trust by increasing the drivers knowledge and understanding of vehicle handling capacity. By enabling transparent communication of the AV systems capacity, we hope to empower AV-skeptic drivers and keep over-trusting drivers on alert in the case of an emergency takeover situation, in order to create a safer autonomous driving experience.
It is extremely important to ensure a safe takeover transition in conditionally automated driving. One of the critical factors that quantifies the safe takeover transition is takeover time. Previous studies identified the effects of many factors on t akeover time, such as takeover lead time, non-driving tasks, modalities of the takeover requests (TORs), and scenario urgency. However, there is a lack of research to predict takeover time by considering these factors all at the same time. Toward this end, we used eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) to predict the takeover time using a dataset from a meta-analysis study [1]. In addition, we used SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanation) to analyze and explain the effects of the predictors on takeover time. We identified seven most critical predictors that resulted in the best prediction performance. Their main effects and interaction effects on takeover time were examined. The results showed that the proposed approach provided both good performance and explainability. Our findings have implications on the design of in-vehicle monitoring and alert systems to facilitate the interaction between the drivers and the automated vehicle.
We provide an ice friction model for vehicle dynamics of a two-man bobsled which can be used for driver evaluation and in a driver-in-the-loop simulator. Longitudinal friction is modeled by combining experimental results with finite element simulatio ns to yield a correlation between contact pressure and friction. To model lateral friction, we collect data from 44 bobsleigh runs using special sensors. Non-linear regression is used to fit a bob-specific one-track vehicle dynamics model to the data. It is applied in driving simulation and enables a novel method for bob driver evaluation. Bob drivers with various levels of experience are investigated. It shows that a similar performance of the top drivers results from different driving styles.
