Investigating the effect of urgency and modality of pedestrian alert warnings on driver acceptance and performance (2018)
Journal Article

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 Use of Mid-Air Ultrasonic Feedback to Enhance Automotive User Interfaces (2018)
Conference Proceeding

© 2018 ACM. Employing a 2×2 within-subjects design, forty-eight experienced drivers (28 male, 20 female) undertook repeated button selection and 'slider-bar' manipulation tasks, to compare a traditional touchscreen with a virtual mid-air gesture inte...

The stoichiometry of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in peat (2018)
Journal Article

Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) form ~90% by mass of peat, a product of the input of plant tissues and litter and the output of decomposition under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. We examined patterns of these elements, as the O:C and H:C... Read More about The stoichiometry of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in peat.

Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming (2018)
Journal Article

The carbon sink potential of peatlands depends on the balance of carbon uptake by plants and microbial decomposition. The rates of both these processes will increase with warming but it remains unclear which will dominate the global peatland response... Read More about Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming.

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...

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.

Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (2018)
Journal Article

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

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...

Exploring drivers of litter decomposition in a greening Arctic: results from a transplant experiment across a tree-line (2018)
Journal Article

Decomposition of plant litter is a key control over carbon (C) storage in the soil. The biochemistry of the litter being produced, the environment in which the decomposition is taking place, and the community composition and metabolism of the decompo...

How will drivers interact with vehicles of the future? A Naturalistic Simulation Study (2018)
Presentation / Conference

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

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.

Dynamics of charcoal alteration in a tropical biome: a biochar-based study (2018)
Journal Article

Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a polyaromatic residue of the incomplete combustion of biomass or fossil fuels. There is a growing recognition that PyC forms an important part of carbon budgets, due to production rates of 116–385 Tg C yr, and the size and...

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...

Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions (2018)
Journal Article

It is important to gain a better understanding of how drivers interact with in-vehicle touchscreens to help design interfaces to minimise “eyes off road” time. The study aimed to investigate the relative effects of two interaction mechanisms (periphe...

Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue (2018)
Journal Article

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.
