Journal Article
Barnard, M., Pampel, S., Burnett, G., Allen, H., & Chapman, P. (2020). How do drivers recall positive and negative driving events? A quantitative approach to analysing driving diaries. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 69, 28-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2020.01.005

Whilst diary studies are often analysed in a qualitative manner, quantitative methods which analyse the percentage of different types of language used in diary entries, now exist. From a driving perspective, this could arguably tell us more about the... Read More about How do drivers recall positive and negative driving events?

ACC design for safety and fuel efficiency: the acceptance of safety margins when adopting different driving styles (2019)
Journal Article
Pampel, S., Jamson, S., Hibberd, D., & Barnard, Y. (2020). ACC design for safety and fuel efficiency: the acceptance of safety margins when adopting different driving styles. Cognition, Technology and Work, 22, 335–342. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10111-019-00571-6

For Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems to be accepted and used safely, the transitions from cruise control mode to necessary driver intervention need to be obvious to the driver. Previous research shows that drivers have natural boundaries for acc...

Follow the Leader: Examining Real and Augmented Reality Lead Vehicles as Driving Navigational Aids (2019)
Journal Article
Topliss, B. H., Pampel, S. M., Burnett, G., Skrypchuk, L., & Hare, C. (2019). Follow the Leader: Examining Real and Augmented Reality Lead Vehicles as Driving Navigational Aids. International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 11(2), 19-38. https://doi.org/10.4018/ijmhci.2019040102

Two studies investigated the concept of following a lead vehicle as a navigational aid. The first videobased study (n=34) considered how drivers might use a real-world lead vehicle as a navigational aid, whilst the second simulator-based study (n=22)...

An investigation of the effects of driver age when using novel navigation systems in a head-up display (2019)
Journal Article
Pampel, S., Lamb, K., Burnett, G., Skrypchuk, L., Hare, C., & Mouzakitis, A. (2019). An investigation of the effects of driver age when using novel navigation systems in a head-up display. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 27(1), 32-45. https://doi.org/10.1162/pres_a_00317

Although drivers gain experience with age, many older drivers are faced with age-related deteriorations that can lead to a higher crash risk. Head-Up Displays (HUDs) have been linked to significant improvements in driving performance for older driver...

Getting the driver back into the loop: the quality of manual vehicle control following long and short non-critical transfer-of-control requests: TI:NS (2019)
Journal Article
Pampel, S. M., Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Matthias, R., Thompson, S., & Skrypchuk, L. (2019). Getting the driver back into the loop: the quality of manual vehicle control following long and short non-critical transfer-of-control requests: TI:NS. Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, 20(3), 265-283. https://doi.org/10.1080/1463922X.2018.1463412

Specific vehicle automation use-cases such as traffic jams will be the first level 3 functions on the market. When the ‘traffic jam pilot’ nears its limits in non-critical situations, control needs to be handed back to the driver, enabling appropriat...

Old habits die hard? The fragility of eco-driving mental models and why green driving behaviour is difficult to sustain (2018)
Journal Article
Pampel, S. M., Jamson, S. L., Hibberd, D., & Barnard, Y. (2018). Old habits die hard? The fragility of eco-driving mental models and why green driving behaviour is difficult to sustain. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 57, 139-150. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2018.01.005

Tangible incentives, training and feedback systems have been shown to reduce drivers’ fuel consumption in several studies. However, the effects of such tools are often short-lived or dependent on continuous cues. Several studies found that many drive... Read More about Old habits die hard?

The activation of eco-driving mental models: can text messages prime drivers to use their existing knowledge and skills? (2017)
Journal Article
Pampel, S. M., Jamson, S. L., Hibberd, D., & Barnard, Y. (2017). The activation of eco-driving mental models: can text messages prime drivers to use their existing knowledge and skills?. Cognition, Technology and Work, 19(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10111-017-0441-3

Eco-driving campaigns have traditionally assumed that drivers lack the necessary knowledge and skills and that this is something that needs rectifying. Therefore, many support systems have been designed to closely guide drivers and fine-tune their pr...
