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...

Anthropomorphism is often used in the design of products and technology, with the aim of enhancing the user experience. However, ‘human’ elements may also be employed for practical reasons, e.g. using speech as an interaction mechanism to minimise vi...

Keeping the driver in the loop: the 'other' ethics of automation (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Banks, V., Shaw, E., & Large, D. R. (2018). Keeping the driver in the loop: the 'other' ethics of automation. In Proceedings of the 20th Congress of the International Ergonomic Association (IEA 2018): Volume VI: Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors (TEHF), Aerospace Human Factors and Ergonomics (70-79). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96074-6

Automated vehicles are expected torevolutionise everyday travelwith anticipated benefits of improved road safety, comfort and mobility. However, they also raise complex ethical challenges. Ethical debates have primarily centredaround moral j... Read More about Keeping the driver in the loop: the 'other' ethics of automation.

Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (2018)
Journal Article
Marshall, C., Large, D. J., Athab, A., Evers, S. L., Sowter, A., Marsh, S., & Sjögersten, S. (2018). Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Engineering Geology, 244, 57-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2018.07.015

Rapid population growth in South-East Asia has placed immense pressure upon lowland regions both to supply food and employment and space for residential, commercial and infrastructure development. This pressure has led to sites on tropical peatland p... Read More about Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Long-term peatland condition assessment via surface motion monitoring using the ISBAS DInSAR technique over the Flow Country, Scotland (2018)
Journal Article

Remote Sensing, 10(7), Article 1103. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10071103

Satellite Earth Observation (EO) is often used as a cost-effective method to report on the condition of remote and inaccessible peatland areas. Current EO techniques are primarily limited to reporting on the vegetation classes and properties of the i...

Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D., Khan, J., & Burnett, G. (2018). Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback. In Proceedings of the 6th Humanist Conference

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)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D., Banks, V., Burnett, G., & Harvey, C. (2018). Towards a predictive model of driver acceptance of active collision avoidance systems. In Proceedings of 7th Transport Research Arena TRA 2018, April 16 - 19, 2018, Vienna, Austria. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1222174

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...
