Vehicles with lower level of autonomy (L2-3) require constant awareness of the human
driver during automated cruising, since they are not able to solve all the possible situations …

If the automated vehicle fails to drive automatically, the human driver must control the
vehicle. So far, human drivers have had little experience of taking over vehicle control during …

The safety of partially and conditionally automated vehicles is a critical issue, since these
are not able to deal with all possibly emerging road scenarios. When a currently developed …

A key research domain within self-driving vehicle technology is system safety. Current
development efforts target Level 3 autonomy, where the vehicle controls both lateral and …

The operating of semi-autonomous vehicles foresees so-called handovers, which refers to
the transition of control from driver to vehicle or vice-versa. While the initiation and …

This paper presents a study carried out within the context of Level 3 automated driving. It
aims to characterize drivers take-over behaviour by exploring quantitative data related to the …

Takeover scenarios in conditionally autonomous driving are critical and should be
conducted optimally in order to ensure the driver's safety. Using Machine Learning, we …

Autonomous vehicles will need de-escalation strategies to compensate when reaching
system limitations. Car-driver handovers can be considered one possible method to deal …

We observe and analyze the characteristics of control authority transition according to the
driver's age and gender in a highly automated vehicle driving environment in this paper. We …

Self-driving technologies introduced new challenges to the control engineering community.
Autonomous vehicles with limited automation capabilities require constant human …
