Effects of Work Zone Infrastructure on Transitioning From Automated to Manual Driving for Work Zones With Lane Reductions
This study explored the impact of work zone infrastructure on driver response when transitioning vehicle control from SAE International (SAE) Level 2 automation to the human driver (SAE 2014). Study … [Read more...] about Effects of Work Zone Infrastructure on Transitioning From Automated to Manual Driving for Work Zones With Lane Reductions
Exploring Construction Workers’ Attention and Awareness in Diverse Virtual Hazard Scenarios to Prevent Struck-By Accidents
Repetitive tasks in construction reduce workers' attentiveness of hazards on sites. This decline in attentiveness can be influenced by their situation awareness level. However, research on the … [Read more...] about Exploring Construction Workers’ Attention and Awareness in Diverse Virtual Hazard Scenarios to Prevent Struck-By Accidents
