Driving behavior after take-over requests (TORs) is one of the most popular subjects in human factors re-search on highly automated driving. Many studies utilized one-step TOR procedures to prompt … [Read more...] about The Sooner the Better: Drivers’ Reactions to Two-Step Take-Over Requests in Highly Automated Driving

Peripheral Monitoring of Traffic in Conditionally Automated Driving
Conditionally automated vehicles (level 3) allow drivers to engage in visual, non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) while the automation is active. System limits require drivers to reengage in the dynamic … [Read more...] about Peripheral Monitoring of Traffic in Conditionally Automated Driving
Evaluation of Speeding and Behaviour of Drivers in Roadwork Zones
Due to the increased traffic flow, more and more roadwork zones are formed in highways. Accidents are a significant problem in all European countries in roadwork zones while noncompliance with speed … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Speeding and Behaviour of Drivers in Roadwork Zones

Modeling and Predicting Stochastic Merging Behaviors at Freeway On-Ramp Bottlenecks
Merging behavior is inevitable at on-ramp bottlenecks and is a significant factor in triggering traffic breakdown. In modeling merging behaviors, the gap acceptance theory is generally used. Gap … [Read more...] about Modeling and Predicting Stochastic Merging Behaviors at Freeway On-Ramp Bottlenecks
