Adaptive cruise control (ACC), a driver assistance system that controls longitudinal motion,
has been introduced in consumer cars in 1995. A next milestone is highly automated driving …

Task performance is frequently stressful, especially when the task imposes high cognitive
demands. Research has shown that the subjective stress response to performance is …

The automotive industry appears close to substantial change engendered by “self-driving”
technologies. This technology offers the possibility of significant benefits to social welfare …

Driving an automobile under high stress level reduces driver's control on vehicle and risk-
assessment capabilities, often resulting in road accidents. Driver's anxiety therefore is a key …

Despite the known dangers of driver fatigue, it is a difficult construct to study empirically.
Different forms of task-induced fatigue may differ in their effects on driver performance and …

Objective: The primary aim of the current study was to determine whether monitoring the
roadway for hazards during automated driving results in a vigilance decrement. Background …

Automated automobiles will be on our roads within the next decade but the role of the driver
has not yet been formerly recognised or designed. Rather, the driver is often left in a passive …

Objective: A driving simulator was used to assess the impact on fatigue, stress, and
workload of full vehicle automation that was initiated by the driver. Background: Previous …

Loss of vigilance may lead to impaired performance in various applied settings including
military operations, transportation, and industrial inspection. Individuals differ considerably …

This study examined the relationship of operator personality (Five Factor Model) and
characteristics of the task and of adaptive automation (reliability and adaptiveness—whether …
