On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays (2025)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Harvey, C., Hallewell, M., Li, X., & Burnett, G. (2025). On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays. Ergonomics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2025.2454927

In a novel, on-road study, using a ‘Ghost Driver’ to emulate an automated vehicle (AV), we captured over 10 hours of video (n = 520) and 64 survey responses documenting the behaviour and attitudes of pedestrians in response to the AV. Three prototype... Read More about On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays.

Developing Preliminary Heuristics for In-Vehicle Ambient Intelligence Systems (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pande, S., Harvey, C., & Large, D. (2025, April). Developing Preliminary Heuristics for In-Vehicle Ambient Intelligence Systems. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2025, Burton upon Trent, UK

This study aimed to develop heuristics for designing and evaluating in-vehicle Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems. Utilising an expert focus group (n=3) and a user study (n=8), 15 preliminary heuristics were derived. These aim to ensure that in-vehic...

Human-AI Decision-Making in Higher Education (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houghton, R., Zhai, X., Li, Z., & Large, D. (2025, April). Human-AI Decision-Making in Higher Education. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2025, Burton upon Trent, UK

Findings from an online study and focus groups show that students and staff were receptive to AI decision-making in higher education, highlighting transparency and equitability. Even so, students expressed a desire for creative work to be seen by a ‘... Read More about Human-AI Decision-Making in Higher Education.

Do Hands-On or Hands-Off Drivers Perform Better During a Level-2 Silent Failure? (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, A., Large, D., & Harvey, C. (2025, April). Do Hands-On or Hands-Off Drivers Perform Better During a Level-2 Silent Failure?. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2025, Burton upon Trent, UK

In a driving context, a silent failure (SF) occurs when the automated vehicle system is not able to operate but does not recognise its reduced capacity. As a result, it does not request human intervention or alert the user to the failure; the human d... Read More about Do Hands-On or Hands-Off Drivers Perform Better During a Level-2 Silent Failure?.

Highlighting Barriers to the Use of Voice Systems in Cars: An Interview Study (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khandeparker, S., Large, D., Harvey, C., Burnett, G., Proctor, K., & Hare, C. (2025, April). Highlighting Barriers to the Use of Voice Systems in Cars: An Interview Study. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors, Burton upon Trent, UK

Advancements in technology have driven significant growth in voice systems, enabling hands-free interaction and offering notable benefits in the automotive domain by reducing visual-manual distractions. Despite the widespread adoption of voice system... Read More about Highlighting Barriers to the Use of Voice Systems in Cars: An Interview Study.
