Investigating the effect of urgency and modality of pedestrian alert warnings on driver acceptance and performance (2018)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Kim, H., Merenda, C., Leong, S., Harvey, C., Burnett, G., & Gabbard, J. (2019). Investigating the effect of urgency and modality of pedestrian alert warnings on driver acceptance and performance. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 60, 11-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2018.09.028

Active safety systems have the potential to reduce the risk to pedestrians by warning the driver and/or taking evasive action to reduce the effects of or avoid a collision. However, current systems are limited in the range of scenarios they can addre...

Exploring the Use of Mid-Air Ultrasonic Feedback to Enhance Automotive User Interfaces (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Harrington, K., Large, D. R., Burnett, G., & Georgiou, O. (2018). Exploring the Use of Mid-Air Ultrasonic Feedback to Enhance Automotive User Interfaces. In AutomotiveUI '18: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (11-20). https://doi.org/10.1145/3239060.3239089

© 2018 ACM. Employing a 2×2 within-subjects design, forty-eight experienced drivers (28 male, 20 female) undertook repeated button selection and 'slider-bar' manipulation tasks, to compare a traditional touchscreen with a virtual mid-air gesture inte...

Life on the road: Exposing drivers’ tendency to anthropomorphise in-vehicle technology (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D. R., & Burnett, G. E. (2018). Life on the road: Exposing drivers’ tendency to anthropomorphise in-vehicle technology. In S. Bagnara, R. Tartaglia, S. Albolino, T. Alexander, & Y. Fujita (Eds.), Proceedings of the 20th Congress of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2018). Volume VI. Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors (TEHF), Aerospace Human Factors and Ergonomics (3-12). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96074-6_1

Anthropomorphism is often used in the design of products and technology, with the aim of enhancing the user experience. However, ‘human’ elements may also be employed for practical reasons, e.g. using speech as an interaction mechanism to minimise vi...

Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D., Khan, J., & Burnett, G. (2018). Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback. In Proceedings of the 6th Humanist Conference

A simulator study explored the effects of providing retrospective feedback on drivers’ acceptance of a collision avoidance system (CAS) following a false activation. Sixteen experienced drivers undertook two drives, each lasting approximately 20 minu... Read More about Fostering Trust and Acceptance of a Collision Avoidance System through Retrospective Feedback.

Towards a predictive model of driver acceptance of active collision avoidance systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D., Banks, V., Burnett, G., & Harvey, C. (2018). Towards a predictive model of driver acceptance of active collision avoidance systems. In Proceedings of 7th Transport Research Arena TRA 2018, April 16 - 19, 2018, Vienna, Austria. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1222174

Drivers’ acceptance of advanced-driver-assistance-systems (ADAS), such as pedestrian alert systems (PAS), is vital if the full benefits are to be realised. However, the adoption and continued use of such technology is not only contingent on the syste...

Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions (2018)
Journal Article
Eren, A. L., Burnett, G., Large, D. R., & Harvey, C. (in press). Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-its.2017.0229

It is important to gain a better understanding of how drivers interact with in-vehicle touchscreens to help design interfaces to minimise “eyes off road” time. The study aimed to investigate the relative effects of two interaction mechanisms (periphe...

Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue (2018)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Antrobus, V., & Skrypchuk, L. (2018). Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 12(6), 420-426. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-its.2017.0201

Using a Wizard-of-Oz approach, we explored the effectiveness of engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as an operational strategy to combat the symptoms of passive task-related fatigue. Twenty participants undertook two 30-minute d... Read More about Driven to discussion: engaging drivers in conversation with a digital assistant as a countermeasure to passive task-related fatigue.
