To Please in a Pod: Employing an Anthropomorphic Agent-Interlocutor to Enhance Trust and User Experience in an Autonomous, Self-Driving Vehicle (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Recognising that one of the aims of conversation is to build, maintain and strengthen positive relationships with others, the study explores whether passengers in an autonomous vehicle display similar behaviour during transactions with an on-board co...

Lessons from Oz: design guidelines for automotive conversational user interfaces (2019)
Conference Proceeding

This paper draws from literature and our experience of conducting Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) studies using natural language, conversational user interfaces (CUIs) in the automotive domain. These studies have revealed positive effects of using in-vehicle CUIs... Read More about Lessons from Oz: design guidelines for automotive conversational user interfaces.

A Longitudinal Simulator Study to Explore Drivers’ Behaviour in Level 3 Automated Vehicles (2019)
Conference Proceeding

In a longitudinal study, 49 drivers undertook a commute-style journey, with part of the route supporting level-3 automation, over five consecutive days. Bespoke HMIs were provided to keep drivers in-the-loop during automation, and help them regain si...

"It's small talk, jim, but not as we know it.": engendering trust through human-agent conversation in an autonomous, self-driving car (2019)
Conference Proceeding

The use of speech has been popularised as a human-vehicle interface in the automotive domain. While this is most often associated with alleviating concerns of driver distraction and cognitive load, the study explores whether the presence of conversat...

Improving the effectiveness of active safety systems to significantly reduce accidents with vulnerable road users - the Project PROSPECT (Proactive Safety for Pedestrians and Cyclists) (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Accidents involving Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) are still a very significant issue for road safety. ´PROactive Safety for PEdestrians and CyclisTs´ is a collaborative research project funded by the European Commission. The objective of PROSPECT was t...

Rebuilding Drivers’ Situation Awareness During Take-Over Requests in Level 3 Automated Cars (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Future, level 3 automated vehicles will enable drivers to undertake non-driving-related secondary tasks while the vehicle is in control. This is likely to impair their situation awareness, and consequently affect their ability to resume control in si...

Comparing the Efficacy of Visual and Verbal Guidance for a Target Car-Seat Posture (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Car seats are becoming increasingly complex, aiming to promote driver wellbeing and comfort, and overcome musculoskeletal problems caused by poor driving posture and extended exposure. With an increasing amount of adjustments available, the navigatio... Read More about Comparing the Efficacy of Visual and Verbal Guidance for a Target Car-Seat Posture.

The impact of interaction mechanisms with in-vehicle touch screens on task performance (2019)
Conference Proceeding

The developments within in-vehicle technologies although provide a better driving experience, they also raise concern due to their contribution to driver distraction. Especially the introduction of in-vehicle touch screens has the potential to increa... Read More about The impact of interaction mechanisms with in-vehicle touch screens on task performance.
