How Will Drivers and Passengers Interact in Future Automated Vehicles? (2024)
Report
Large, D. R., Harvey, C., & Burnett, G. (2024). How Will Drivers and Passengers Interact in Future Automated Vehicles?. RAC Foundation

The presence of one or more passengers has been shown to distract drivers during manual driving, with reported reductions in situational awareness, an increase in the risk of taking unsafe actions, and an increased risk of a fatal crash, particularly...

Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique (2024)
Journal Article
de la Barreda-Bautista, B., Ledger, M. J., Sjögersten, S., Gee, D., Sowter, A., Cole, B., …Boyd, D. S. (2024). Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique. Remote Sensing, 16(12), Article 2249. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16122249

Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced widespread subsidence due to forest clearance and drainage for agriculture, oil palm and pulp wood production, causing concerns about their function as a long-term carbon store. Peatland drainage... Read More about Exploring Spatial Patterns of Tropical Peatland Subsidence in Selangor, Malaysia Using the APSIS-DInSAR Technique.

Blanket bog vegetation response to wildfire and drainage suggests resilience to low severity, infrequent burning (2024)
Journal Article
Andersen, R., Fernandez-Garcia, P., Martin-Walker, A., Klein, D., Marshall, C., Large, D. J., …Hancock, M. H. (2024). Blanket bog vegetation response to wildfire and drainage suggests resilience to low severity, infrequent burning. Fire Ecology, 20(1), Article 26. https://doi.org/10.1186/s42408-024-00256-0

Background In 2019, a wildfire impacted an area of blanket bog and wet heath > 60 km2 in the Flow Country peatlands of northern Scotland, a site of global significance. Unusually the footprint of the wildfire included discrete areas of degraded, res...

In two minds: distractive and protective effects of passengers in automated vehicles (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
LARGE, D., Harvey, C., Shaw, E., Khandeparker, S., Burnett, G., & Box, E. (in press). In two minds: distractive and protective effects of passengers in automated vehicles.

We highlight exemplar behaviours elicited through the observation of driver-passenger interactions in a multiple journey driving simulator study, demonstrating both distractive and protective effects when a front-seat passenger is present during SAE...
