SWOV researchers Christoph and Van Nes coauthored the article 'Exploring the usage of supervised driving automation in naturalistic conditions' in the magazine Transportation Research.
This study reports usage of supervised automation and driver attention from longitudinal naturalistic driving observations. Automation inexperienced drivers were provided with instrumented vehicles with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping (LK) features (SAE level 2). Data was collected comparing one month of driving without support to two months where drivers were instructed to use automation as desired.
