MPeat2D - A fully coupled mechanical-ecohydrological model of peatland development in two dimensions (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Mahdiyasa, A. W., Large, D. J., Icardi, M., & Muljadi, B. P. MPeat2D - A fully coupled mechanical-ecohydrological model of peatland development in two dimensions

Higher dimensional models of peatland development are required to analyse the influence of spatial heterogeneity and complex feedback mechanisms. However, the current models exclude the mechanical process that leads to uncertainties in simulating the...

Identifying interaction types and functionality for automated vehicle virtual assistants: An exploratory study using speech acts cluster analysis. Applied Ergonomics, 114, Article 104152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2023.104152

Onboard virtual assistants with the ability to converse with users are gaining favour in supporting effective human-machine interaction to meet safe standards of operation in automated vehicles (AVs). Previous studies have highlighted the need to com...

Mapping and monitoring peatland conditions from global to field scale (2023)
Journal Article

Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth’s surface, but they store nearly 30% of global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue to be degraded at alarming rates around the world. It has prompted countries...

I, AV: A Ghost Driver Field Study Exploring the Application of Anthropomorphism in AV-Pedestrian Communication (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Hallewell, M., Li, X., Harvey, C., & Burnett, G. (2023). I, AV: A Ghost Driver Field Study Exploring the Application of Anthropomorphism in AV-Pedestrian Communication. In AutomotiveUI '23 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (127-132). https://doi.org/10.1145/3581961.3609883

We employed the 'Ghost Driver' methodology to emulate an autonomous vehicle (AV) and explored pedestrians' (n=520) crossing behaviour in response to external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs). Three eHMI designs were created to replace absent pedestri... Read More about I, AV: A Ghost Driver Field Study Exploring the Application of Anthropomorphism in AV-Pedestrian Communication.

Tropical peat surface oscillations are a function of peat condition at North Selangor peat swamp forest, Malaysia (2023)
Journal Article
Ledger, M. J., Evans, C. D., Large, D. J., Evers, S., Brown, C., Jovani-Sancho, A. J., …Sjögersten, S. (2023). Tropical peat surface oscillations are a function of peat condition at North Selangor peat swamp forest, Malaysia. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 11, Article 1182100. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2023.1182100

Tropical peatland condition across southeast Asia is deteriorating as a result of conversion to agriculture and urban zones. Conversion begins by lowering the water table, which leads to peat decomposition, subsidence and increased risk of large-scal...

Ghost Busting: A Novel On-Road Exploration of External HMIs for Autonomous Vehicles (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Hallewell, M., Li, X., Harvey, C., & Burnett, G. (2023). Ghost Busting: A Novel On-Road Exploration of External HMIs for Autonomous Vehicles.

The absence of a human driver in future autonomous vehicles means that explicit pedestrian-driver communication is not possible. Building on the novel ‘Ghost Driver’ methodology to emulate an autonomous vehicle, we developed prototype external human-...

A validation study of a fixed-based, medium fidelity driving simulator for human–machine interfaces visual distraction testing (2023)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Pampel, S. M., Merriman, S. E., & Burnett, G. (2023). A validation study of a fixed-based, medium fidelity driving simulator for human–machine interfaces visual distraction testing. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 17(6), 1104-1117. https://doi.org/10.1049/itr2.12362

Studies comparing results captured in a simulator with those on road are important to validate the approach but are scarce in the context of secondary task distraction due to the potential ramifications of diverting attention away from safe driving....

Modelling the influence of mechanical-ecohydrological feedback on the nonlinear dynamics of peatlands (2023)
Journal Article

Peatlands are complex systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics due to internal and external feedback mechanisms. However, the feedback of vegetation on peat volume changes that potentially affect peatland dynamics is not well understood. Here, we anal...
