How Will Drivers and Passengers Interact in Future Automated Vehicles? (2024)
Report
Large, D. R., Harvey, C., & Burnett, G. (2024). How Will Drivers and Passengers Interact in Future Automated Vehicles?. RAC Foundation

The presence of one or more passengers has been shown to distract drivers during manual driving, with reported reductions in situational awareness, an increase in the risk of taking unsafe actions, and an increased risk of a fatal crash, particularly...

Investigating levels of remote operation in high-level on-road autonomous vehicles using operator sequence diagrams (2024)
Journal Article
Parr, H., Harvey, C., Burnett, G., & Sharples, S. (2024). Investigating levels of remote operation in high-level on-road autonomous vehicles using operator sequence diagrams. Cognition, Technology and Work, 26, 207-223. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10111-024-00762-w

The continuing development of autonomous vehicle technology is making the presence of fully autonomous vehicles (SAE Level 5 of Driving Automation) on the road an ever more likely possibility. Similarly, regulation changes show countries are preparin... Read More about Investigating levels of remote operation in high-level on-road autonomous vehicles using operator sequence diagrams.

In two minds: distractive and protective effects of passengers in automated vehicles (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
LARGE, D., Harvey, C., Shaw, E., Khandeparker, S., Burnett, G., & Box, E. (in press). In two minds: distractive and protective effects of passengers in automated vehicles.

We highlight exemplar behaviours elicited through the observation of driver-passenger interactions in a multiple journey driving simulator study, demonstrating both distractive and protective effects when a front-seat passenger is present during SAE...

The influence of incentives and instructions on behaviour in driving simulator studies (2019)
Journal Article
Harvey, C., & Burnett, G. (2019). The influence of incentives and instructions on behaviour in driving simulator studies. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 67, 164-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2019.10.007

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd There are a number of factors which may influence the validity of experimental studies, including the incentives offered and the instructions provided to participants. These have been little-studied in the driving domain. The aim... Read More about The influence of incentives and instructions on behaviour in driving simulator studies.

Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) applied to a Royal Navy Hawk jet missile simulation exercise (2018)
Journal Article
Stanton, N. A., Allison, C. K., & Harvey, C. (2019). Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) applied to a Royal Navy Hawk jet missile simulation exercise. Safety Science, 113, 461-471. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2018.12.020

The Royal Navy uses Hawk jets to simulate sea-skimming missile attacks against vessels as part of their training regulations. To best achieve these goals, pilots of the Hawk are required to fly at approximately 50 feet above sea level to accurately m...

Investigating the effect of urgency and modality of pedestrian alert warnings on driver acceptance and performance (2018)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Kim, H., Merenda, C., Leong, S., Harvey, C., Burnett, G., & Gabbard, J. (2019). Investigating the effect of urgency and modality of pedestrian alert warnings on driver acceptance and performance. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 60, 11-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2018.09.028

Active safety systems have the potential to reduce the risk to pedestrians by warning the driver and/or taking evasive action to reduce the effects of or avoid a collision. However, current systems are limited in the range of scenarios they can addre...

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...

Beyond human error taxonomies in assessment of risk in sociotechnical systems: a new paradigm with the EAST ‘broken-links’ approach (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Risk assessments in Sociotechnical Systems (STS) tend to be based on error taxonomies, yet the term ‘human error’ does not sit easily with STS theories and concepts. A new break-link app...

What the drivers do and do not tell you: using verbal protocol analysis to investigate driver behaviour in emergency situations (2014)
Journal Article
Banks, V. A., Harvey, C., & Stanton, N. A. (2014). What the drivers do and do not tell you: using verbal protocol analysis to investigate driver behaviour in emergency situations. Ergonomics, 57(3), 332-342. https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2014.884245

Although task analysis of pedestrian detection can provide us with useful insights into how a driver may behave in emergency situations, the cognitive elements of driver decision-making are less well understood. To assist in the design of future Adva... Read More about What the drivers do and do not tell you: using verbal protocol analysis to investigate driver behaviour in emergency situations.
