The Effect of a Secondary Task on Drivers’ Gap Acceptance and Situational Awareness at Junctions (2020)
Journal Article
Robbins, C. J., Rogers, J., Walton, S., Allen, H. A., & Chapman, P. (2021). The Effect of a Secondary Task on Drivers’ Gap Acceptance and Situational Awareness at Junctions. Ergonomics, 64(2), 184-198. https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2020.1822548

The current studies explored the roles of the visuospatial and phonological working memory subsystems on drivers’ gap acceptance and memory for approaching vehicles at junctions. Drivers’ behaviour was measured in a high-fidelity driving simulator wh... Read More about The Effect of a Secondary Task on Drivers’ Gap Acceptance and Situational Awareness at Junctions.

How do drivers recall positive and negative driving events? A quantitative approach to analysing driving diaries (2020)
Journal Article
Barnard, M., Pampel, S., Burnett, G., Allen, H., & Chapman, P. (2020). How do drivers recall positive and negative driving events? A quantitative approach to analysing driving diaries. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 69, 28-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2020.01.005

Whilst diary studies are often analysed in a qualitative manner, quantitative methods which analyse the percentage of different types of language used in diary entries, now exist. From a driving perspective, this could arguably tell us more about the... Read More about How do drivers recall positive and negative driving events?
