Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D., Khan, J., & Burnett, G. (2018, June). Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback. Presented at 6th Humanist Conference, The Hague, Netherlands

A simulator study explored the effects of providing retrospective feedback on drivers’ acceptance of a collision avoidance system (CAS) following a false activation. Sixteen experienced drivers undertook two drives, each lasting approximately 20 minu... Read More about Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback.

Towards a predictive model of driver acceptance of active collision avoidance systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D., Banks, V., Burnett, G., & Harvey, C. (2018, April). Towards a predictive model of driver acceptance of active collision avoidance systems. Presented at 7th European Transport Research Arena TRA 2018, Vienna, Austria

Drivers’ acceptance of advanced-driver-assistance-systems (ADAS), such as pedestrian alert systems (PAS), is vital if the full benefits are to be realised. However, the adoption and continued use of such technology is not only contingent on the syste...

Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue (2018)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Antrobus, V., & Skrypchuk, L. (2018). Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 12(6), 420-426. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-its.2017.0201

Using a Wizard-of-Oz approach, we explored the effectiveness of engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as an operational strategy to combat the symptoms of passive task-related fatigue. Twenty participants undertook two 30-minute d... Read More about Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue.

Exploring the relationship between false alarms and driver acceptance of a pedestrian alert system during simulated driving (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Harvey, C., Burnett, G., Merenda, C., Leong, S., & Gabbard, J. (2017, October). Exploring the relationship between false alarms and driver acceptance of a pedestrian alert system during simulated driving. Paper presented at The Road Safety and Simulation conference, The Hague, The Netherlands

n-vehicle pedestrian-alert-systems (PASs) can be prone to ‘false positive’ declarations, with the likelihood of false interventions increasing as time-to-collision (TTC) extends. A high number of false alarms can annoy drivers and lead to poor acc...

Design Implications of Drivers’ Engagement with Secondary Activities During Highly-Automated Driving – A Longitudinal Simulator Study (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Burnett, G. E., Morris, A., Muthumani, A., & Matthias, R. (2017, October). Design Implications of Drivers’ Engagement with Secondary Activities During Highly-Automated Driving – A Longitudinal Simulator Study. Presented at RSS2017 - The Road Safety & Simulation International Conference, The Hague, Netherlands

Highly-automated vehicles will provide the freedom for drivers to engage in secondary activities while the vehicle is in control. However, little is known regarding the nature of activities that drivers will undertake, and how these may impact driver...

Putting the Joy in Driving: Investigating the Use of a Joystick as an Alternative to Traditional Controls within Future Autonomous Vehicles (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Banks, V., Burnett, G. E., & Margaritis, N. (2017, September). Putting the Joy in Driving: Investigating the Use of a Joystick as an Alternative to Traditional Controls within Future Autonomous Vehicles. Presented at 9th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Oldenburg, Germany

Unencumbered by the need to provide permanent manual control, future autonomous vehicles may be absent of traditional driving elements, such as a steering wheel and foot-pedals. While this provides additional space/comfort for drivers, an alternative...

Capturing cultural differences between UK and Malaysian drivers to inform the design of in-vehicle navigation systems (2017)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., & Mohd-Hasni, Y. (in press). Capturing cultural differences between UK and Malaysian drivers to inform the design of in-vehicle navigation systems

Attending to cultural diversity is important for products and technology intended for global placement, such as automobiles, yet many products (and associated interfaces) lack genuine cultural differentiation. For example, in-vehicle navigation syste... Read More about Capturing cultural differences between UK and Malaysian drivers to inform the design of in-vehicle navigation systems.

A Longitudinal Simulator Study to Explore Drivers’ Behaviour During Highly-Automated Driving (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Morris, A., Muthumani, A., & Matthias, R. (2017, July). A Longitudinal Simulator Study to Explore Drivers’ Behaviour During Highly-Automated Driving. Presented at International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics AHFE 2017, Los Angeles, California, USA

Six experienced drivers each undertook five 30-min journeys (portrayed as ‘daily commutes’ i.e. one on each of five consecutive weekdays) in a medium-fidelity driving-simulator engineered to mimic a highly-automated vehicle. Participants were encoura... Read More about A Longitudinal Simulator Study to Explore Drivers’ Behaviour During Highly-Automated Driving.

Augmenting landmarks during the head-up provision of in-vehicle navigation advice (2017)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., & Bolton, A. (2017). Augmenting landmarks during the head-up provision of in-vehicle navigation advice. International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 19(2), 18-38. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJMHCI.2017040102

The use of landmarks during the provision of directions can greatly improve drivers’ route-following performance. However, the successful integration of landmarks within in-vehicle navigation systems is predicated on the acquisition and deployment of...
