ACC design for safety and fuel efficiency: the acceptance of safety margins when adopting different driving styles (2019)
Journal Article
Pampel, S., Jamson, S., Hibberd, D., & Barnard, Y. (2020). ACC design for safety and fuel efficiency: the acceptance of safety margins when adopting different driving styles. Cognition, Technology and Work, 22, 335–342. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10111-019-00571-6

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
Topliss, B. H., Pampel, S. M., Burnett, G., Skrypchuk, L., & Hare, C. (2019). Follow the Leader: Examining Real and Augmented Reality Lead Vehicles as Driving Navigational Aids. International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 11(2), 19-38. https://doi.org/10.4018/ijmhci.2019040102

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)...

An investigation of the effects of driver age when using novel navigation systems in a head-up display (2019)
Journal Article
Pampel, S., Lamb, K., Burnett, G., Skrypchuk, L., Hare, C., & Mouzakitis, A. (2019). An investigation of the effects of driver age when using novel navigation systems in a head-up display. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 27(1), 32-45. https://doi.org/10.1162/pres_a_00317

Although drivers gain experience with age, many older drivers are faced with age-related deteriorations that can lead to a higher crash risk. Head-Up Displays (HUDs) have been linked to significant improvements in driving performance for older driver...

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
Pampel, S. M., Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Matthias, R., Thompson, S., & Skrypchuk, L. (2019). 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. Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, 20(3), 265-283. https://doi.org/10.1080/1463922X.2018.1463412

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...
