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.

Keeping the driver in the loop: the 'other' ethics of automation (2018)
Conference Proceeding

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.

Life on the road: Exposing drivers’ tendency to anthropomorphise in-vehicle technology (2018)
Conference Proceeding

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...

Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback (2018)
Conference Proceeding

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.

Trust me – I’m AutoCAB’: Using natural language interfaces to improve the trust and acceptance of level 4/5 autonomous vehicles (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Towards a predictive model of driver acceptance of active collision avoidance systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding

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...

Design Implications of Drivers’ Engagement with Secondary Activities During Highly-Automated Driving – A Longitudinal Simulator Study (2017)
Conference Proceeding

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)
Conference Proceeding

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...

A Longitudinal Simulator Study to Explore Drivers’ Behaviour During Highly-Automated Driving (2017)
Conference Proceeding

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.

Stimulating Conversation: Engaging Drivers in Natural Language Interactions with an Autonomous Digital Driving Assistant to Counteract Passive Task-Related Fatigue (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Engaging in conversation has been shown to be an effective countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue. To investigate the effectiveness of a digital assistant to fulfil the role of conversational partner in counteracting driver fatigue, twenty pa...

A predictive model of the visual demand associated with in-vehicle touchscreens (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Touchscreen-HMIs are increasingly popular within vehicles. Understanding the likely visual demand of new designs is therefore important but typically requires time-consuming and costly testing with functioning prototypes. Theoretical modelling allows...

Exploring the Behaviour of Distracted Drivers during Different Levels of Automation in Driving (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Increased levels of automation in driving can reduce drivers’ situation-awareness and cause erratic changes to workload and skills degradation following prolonged exposure. In addition, drivers (particularly those who are vulnerable to the onset of b... Read More about Exploring the Behaviour of Distracted Drivers during Different Levels of Automation in Driving.

Assessing Cognitive Demand during Natural Language Interactions with a Digital Driving Assistant (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Given the proliferation of digital assistants in everyday mobile technology, it appears inevitable that next generation vehicles will be embodied by similar agents, offering engaging, natural language interactions. However, speech can be cognitively... Read More about Assessing Cognitive Demand during Natural Language Interactions with a Digital Driving Assistant.

Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI (2016)
