On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays (2025)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Harvey, C., Hallewell, M., Li, X., & Burnett, G. (2025). On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays. Ergonomics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2025.2454927

In a novel, on-road study, using a ‘Ghost Driver’ to emulate an automated vehicle (AV), we captured over 10 hours of video (n=520) and 64 survey responses documenting the behaviour and attitudes of pedestrians in response to the AV. Three prototype e... Read More about On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays.

Developing Preliminary Heuristics for In-Vehicle Ambient Intelligence Systems (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pande, S., Harvey, C., & Large, D. (2025, April). Developing Preliminary Heuristics for In-Vehicle Ambient Intelligence Systems. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2025, Burton upon Trent, UK

This study aimed to develop heuristics for designing and evaluating in-vehicle Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems. Utilising an expert focus group (n=3) and a user study (n=8), 15 preliminary heuristics were derived. These aim to ensure that in-vehic...

Two For The Road: An Exploratory Study Investigating Driver and Co-Passenger Interactions during Automation and the Transition of Control in a Level 3 Automated Vehicle (2024)
Journal Article
Large, D., Harvey, C., Shaw, E., Khandeparker, S., Burnett, G., & Box, E. (in press). Two For The Road: An Exploratory Study Investigating Driver and Co-Passenger Interactions during Automation and the Transition of Control in a Level 3 Automated Vehicle. Advances in Transportation Studies, 66, 125-144

To explore the impact of a front-seat passenger during SAE level 3 (L3) automation, eighteen established driver-passenger pairings undertook three 30-minute journeys framed as ‘days-out’ in a L3 driving simulator. Participants were reminded of their...

Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions (2018)
Journal Article
Eren, A. L., Burnett, G., Large, D. R., & Harvey, C. (in press). Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-its.2017.0229

It is important to gain a better understanding of how drivers interact with in-vehicle touchscreens to help design interfaces to minimise “eyes off road” time. The study aimed to investigate the relative effects of two interaction mechanisms (periphe...

Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers (2016)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Crundall, E., Burnett, G., Harvey, C., & Konstantopoulous, P. (2016). Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers. Applied Ergonomics, 55, 138-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2016.02.003

Drivers' awareness of the rearward road scene is critical when contemplating or executing lane-change manoeuvres, such as overtaking. Preliminary investigations have speculated on the use of rear-facing cameras to relay images to displays mounted ins...
