This chapter reports on a series of studies on driver behavior with a highly automated
vehicle, conducted as part of the European project CityMobil and the UK project EASY …

This paper outlines the results of a driving simulator study conducted for the European
CityMobil project, which was designed to investigate the effect of a highly automated driving …

Recent and upcoming advances in vehicle automation are likely to change the role of the
driver from one of actively controlling a vehicle to one of monitoring the behaviour of an …

The study investigated the impact of fully-automated vehicle control on driver behaviour,
physiology and the uptake of secondary tasks in varying traffic conditions. Previous studies …

This paper presents results from a study conducted for the European FP6 project CityMobil.
The experiment described here is part of four cross-site experiments designed to study the …

Objective: The study was designed to show how driver attention to the road scene and
engagement of a choice of secondary tasks are affected by the level of automation provided …

A review of the literature on autonomous vehicles has shown that they offer several benefits,
such as reducing traffic congestion and emissions, and improving transport accessibility …

Vehicle automation is expected to improve traffic safety. However, previous research
indicates that high levels of automation may bring about unintended consequences …

Previous research has indicated that high levels of vehicle automation can result in reduced
driver situation awareness, but has also highlighted potential benefits of such future vehicle …

Background Whilst previous research has explored how driver behaviour in simulators may
transfer to the open road, there has been relatively little research showing the same transfer …
