A validation study of a fixed-based, medium fidelity driving simulator for human–machine interfaces visual distraction testing (2023)
Journal Article

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....

Assessing the Validity of Low and Medium-Fidelity Driving Simulators for HMI Distraction Testing – A Subjective Approach (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Simulators are commonly employed for conducting driving-related research due to their increased flexibility, safety and control compared to on-the-road studies [1]. However, concerns have been raised regarding the validity of the approach, that is, t...

ACC design for safety and fuel efficiency: the acceptance of safety margins when adopting different driving styles (2019)
Journal Article

For Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems to be accepted and used safely, the transitions from cruise control mode to necessary driver intervention need to be obvious to the driver. Previous research shows that drivers have natural boundaries for acc...

Follow the Leader: Examining Real and Augmented Reality Lead Vehicles as Driving Navigational Aids (2019)
Journal Article

Two studies investigated the concept of following a lead vehicle as a navigational aid. The first videobased study (n=34) considered how drivers might use a real-world lead vehicle as a navigational aid, whilst the second simulator-based study (n=22)...

Getting the driver back into the loop: the quality of manual vehicle control following long and short non-critical transfer-of-control requests: TI:NS (2019)
Journal Article

Specific vehicle automation use-cases such as traffic jams will be the first level 3 functions on the market. When the ‘traffic jam pilot’ nears its limits in non-critical situations, control needs to be handed back to the driver, enabling appropriat...

Exploring Drivers’ Visual Behaviour During Take-Over Requests (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Old habits die hard? The fragility of eco-driving mental models and why green driving behaviour is difficult to sustain (2018)
Journal Article

Tangible incentives, training and feedback systems have been shown to reduce drivers’ fuel consumption in several studies. However, the effects of such tools are often short-lived or dependent on continuous cues. Several studies found that many drive... Read More about Old habits die hard? The fragility of eco-driving mental models and why green driving behaviour is difficult to sustain.

The activation of eco-driving mental models: can text messages prime drivers to use their existing knowledge and skills? (2017)
Journal Article

Eco-driving campaigns have traditionally assumed that drivers lack the necessary knowledge and skills and that this is something that needs rectifying. Therefore, many support systems have been designed to closely guide drivers and fine-tune their pr...
