Assessing the Validity of Low and Medium-Fidelity Driving Simulators for HMI Distraction Testing – A Subjective Approach (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Merriman, S., Large, D., Pampel, S., & Burnett, G. (2021). Assessing the Validity of Low and Medium-Fidelity Driving Simulators for HMI Distraction Testing – A Subjective Approach.

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...

What Just Happened? Exploring Drivers’ Behaviour in Response to Minimal Risk Condition – A Qualitative Driving Simulator Study (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Cortez, D., Large, D., & Burnett, G. (2021). What Just Happened? Exploring Drivers’ Behaviour in Response to Minimal Risk Condition – A Qualitative Driving Simulator Study.

Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to improve road safety by reducing the number of collisions and safety critical events [1,2]. In the event of a failure of the automated driving system (ADS), or if it reaches the limit of its capability, action... Read More about What Just Happened?

Exploring the Benefits of Conversing with a Digital Voice Assistant during Automated Driving: A Parametric Duration Model of Takeover Time (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Mahajan, K., Large, D., Burnett, G., & Velaga, N. (2021). Exploring the Benefits of Conversing with a Digital Voice Assistant during Automated Driving: A Parametric Duration Model of Takeover Time. In Transportation Research Board. Annual Meeting Proceedings 2021

The current study investigated the role of an in-vehicle digital voice-assistant (VA) in conditionally automated vehicles, offering discourse relating specifically to contextual factors, such as the traffic situation and road environment. The study i... Read More about Exploring the Benefits of Conversing with a Digital Voice Assistant during Automated Driving: A Parametric Duration Model of Takeover Time.
