▼ Distracted driving continues to remain a cause of concern for a number of bodies, including government agencies, traffic safety advocacy groups and law enforcement agencies, because of its traffic safety risks. The driving simulator continues to be popular with researchers in collecting data on performance variables that provide scientific knowledge of the effects of distracted driving. Several of these performance variables can be used to quantify a single distracting effect, resulting in a multivariate dataset. A literature review of related studies revealed that researchers overwhelmingly use univariate (single and multiple) tests to analyze the resulting dataset. Performing multiple univariate tests on a multivariate dataset results in inflated Type-I error rates, and could result in inaccurately concluding that there is a distracting effect when there may not be. Researchers also provided very little or no justification for the selection of variables that were used for the univariate analysis. Being able to correctly identify a set of variables to be used to research a single distracting effect is critical in that different variables may lead to different conclusions of significant findings or not. The primary objective of this dissertation was to develop a sound statistical basis for correctly identifying a set of variables and also to demonstrate the benefits of adopting a multivariate gate-keeper test in distracted driving studies. This was demonstrated with an experiment where 67 drivers participated in a repeated measures driving simulator experiment. 14 commonly used performance variables were used as the multivariate response variables. The corresponding data were analyzed using univariate tests, and multivariate gate-keeper tests. The results indicate that ignoring the multivariate structure and performing multiple univariate tests, as has been found to be prevalent in past studies, will lead to inflated Type-I error rates and potentially misleading conclusions. The procedure developed in this study also led to the development of sound statistical basis for the selection of variables that can be best used to account for the distracting effect of the texting and phone call activities that were investigated. The findings of this study have significant educational value to the body of knowledge on distracted driving studies and any other studies that analyze multiple dependent variables for a single factor.

▼ The current study investigated the effect of alcohol on simulated
driving and cognitive
performance across multiple blood alcohol levels (0.00, 0.02, 0.05 & 0.08%). The main objective was examine if the effect of alcohol was dose and task dependent and whether there was a mismatch in the development of acute tolerance across subjective and objective measures. Thirty participants (male & female) completed a simulated drive that comprised a rural highway which was divided into low and high traffic segments. In the
driving scenario, a range of measures including speed maintenance, sign detection and hazard reaction were collected. Participants also completed a computer administered continuous
performance test, a subjective measure of intoxication and had their breath alcohol level recorded. The experiment included a pre-alcohol, intoxicated and two post alcohol recovery conditions in which the measures were repeated at the same time intervals. Results showed no significant impairments in accelerator or brake reaction time but there was a significant increase in the number of crashes which increased in a dose dependent manner. There were no significant impairments in the sign detection task but traffic density was found to impair
driving performance particularly in the heavy traffic segments. A significant Group*Density*Road interaction was also found, where the 0.05% group had a higher maximum speed on Road 4 than on Road 3 in the heavy traffic (70km/h) zone. There were no significant findings for the development of acute tolerance.

▼ While traffic planning is important for developing a hurricane evacuation plan, vehicle performance on the roads during extreme weather conditions is critical to the success of the planning process. This study was designed to lay a foundation for modeling driving behavior and vehicle performance as an assessment tool in the decision making process for planning evacuation routes during hurricane and tropical storms. The study explores how the parameters of a driving simulator could be modified to reproduce wind loadings experienced by three vehicle types (a passenger car, an ambulance, and a bus) during gusty hurricane winds, through manipulation of appropriate software. Thirty participants were then tested on the modified driving simulator under five wind conditions (ranging from “wind-free” to hurricane category 4). The driving performance measures used were heading error and lateral displacement. The results showed that higher wind forces resulted in more varied and greater heading error and lateral displacement. The ambulance had the greatest heading errors and lateral displacements, which were attributed to its large lateral surface area and light weight. Mathematical models were developed to estimate the heading error and lateral displacements for each of the vehicle types for a given change in lateral wind force. Through a questionnaire, participants felt the different characteristics while driving each vehicle type. The findings of this study demonstrate the valuable use of a driving simulator to model the behavior of different vehicle types, and to develop mathematical models to estimate and quantify driving behavior and vehicle performance under hurricane wind conditions.

▼ Billboards attract attention by using images that evoke an emotional reaction. Three experiments were conducted to determine if
driving performance was impaired by emotional billboard content. Participants were tested in a
driving simulator, and drove on simulated roadways with customized billboards placed at regular intervals. Four categories of images were chosen from the International Affective Picture System: positive/high arousal, positive/low arousal, negative/high arousal, and negative/low arousal. Also included were control signs (blank images in the pilot/Experiment 1, and scrambled images in Experiment 2). Data were collected on average speeds, steering
performance, and reaction time to hazards, with image recall and recognition being tested afterwards. Analyses revealed faster speeds around positive images, more variable steering around positive and low arousal images, longer reaction times around negative images, and better memory for positive/low arousal and negative/high arousal images. These findings have implications for theoretical and applied research on attention, emotions, and
driving.

▼ The development of automated vehicles on the road is in full swing. As vehicles are getting increasingly automated, the human factor is diminished or eventually removed from automated driving. Until then, a combination of human input and automation is necessary during automated driving. This research focuses on the interaction between humans and machine and how a safe interaction can be designed by incorporating meaningful human control. Initially, the aim was to study how different personalities are reflected in driver workload induced by take-over requests (TORs). However, the COVID-19 circumstances changed the aim to validate the design of the driving simulation experiment by means of an N = 1 experiment. Design variables that have been found to play a role in driver workload are varied in the validation experiment. These variables are the duration of the time budget, traffic density, location of the TOR and task involvement during automated driving. Subsequently, workload was measured by a combination of subjective and physiological indicators and driving performance. Notably, this study includes the Root Mean Square of Successive Differences (RMSSD) and Standard Deviation of Normal to Normal peak intervals (SDNN) as heart rate variability (HRV) measures, which is a novel approach in studies measuring TOR-induced workload. Despite the study design that involved performing an N = 1 driving simulation experiment, significant differences between attribute levels have been found. This study provides recommendations on an empirically-validated set of design variables for future studies involving TORs and driver workload, specifically for the future study on personality and automated driving.

Clinical Predictors of Driving Simulator Performance in Drivers with Multiple Sclerosis.

▼ Drivers with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) experience visual-cognitive impairment that may impact their fitness to drive. Fitness to drive is the ability to control a motor vehicle, as determined via a comprehensive driving evaluation, with in-clinic and on-road driving assessments. However, the on-road driving assessment may pose a crash risk to medically at-risk drivers. Instead, a driving simulator assessment that targets the driving performance deficits of drivers may inform fitness to drive decisions. However, utilizing clinical tests to indicate driving simulator performance in drivers with MS is not fully understood.
Through three aims, this dissertation will examine the clinical utility of visual-cognitive tests to indicate driving simulator performance in drivers with MS. Aim 1 will examine the study’s feasibility via evaluating recruitment capability, sample characteristics, data collection procedures, outcome measures, participants’ acceptability and suitability of the driving simulator, resources to implement the study, and preliminary test results. Aim 2 will quantify if visual-cognitive tests can predict driving simulator performance in drivers with MS, when compared to control drivers without MS. Aim 3 will examine if adjustment to stimuli errors can predict the occurrence of rear-end collisions on a driving simulator.
Aim 1 findings provided the foundation for determining clinical predictions of driving simulator performance, but also identified challenges such as lower than proposed recruitment rates, missing data on the driving simulator, participants’ varied responses toward the driving simulator’s acceptability, and the onset of simulator sickness. Aim 2 findings showed that deficits in immediate verbal/auditory recall and divided attention can indicate driving performance deficits in drivers with MS. Aim 3 findings showed that adjustment to stimuli errors, in urban environments, and that require intermittent problem-solving and decision-making to respond and avoid collisions, may underlie driving performance deficits.
This dissertation supports the notion that it would be feasible to utilize clinical tests to indicate driving performance deficits in drivers with MS. Tests of immediate verbal/auditory recall and divided attention may be useful screening tools. Adjustment to stimuli errors in urban environments may underlie driving performance deficits in drivers with MS and can be detected on a driving simulator.

▼ A number of studies have been done in the field of driver distraction, specifically on the use of cell phone for either conversation or texting while driving. However, till now, researchers have focused on the driving performance of drivers when they were actually engaged in the task, i.e. during the texting or phone conversation event. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the post event effect of cell phone usage in order to verify whether the distracting effect lingers on after the actual event had ceased. The research utilizes a driving simulator study of thirty-six participants to test whether a significant decrease in driver performance occurs during and after cell phone usage (texting and conversation). The standard deviations of lane position and mean velocity was used as dependent measures to represent lateral and longitudinal control of the vehicle respectively. Linear mixed model with subject as a random factor and F-test for the equality of variance were used as statistical measures. The results from the study suggest that there was no significant decrease in driver performance during and after the cell phone conversation both laterally and longitudinally. On the contrary, during the texting event, a significant decrease in driver performance was observed both in the lateral and longitudinal control of the vehicle. The diminishing effect of texting on longitudinal control ceased immediately after the texting event but the diminishing effect of texting on lateral control lingered on for an average of 3.388 seconds. The number of text messages exchanged did not affect the magnitude and duration of the diminished lateral control. This indicates that the distraction and subsequent elevated crash risk of texting while driving linger on even after the texting event has ceased. Such finding has safety and policy implications in the fight to reduce distracted driving.

▼ There is a growing body of literature that recognises the importance of vehicle vibration on seated occupant. Vibration transmitted to the seated human body from the excitation sources such as tyre-road interaction and vehicle powertrain path resides below 100 Hz. Previous studies have reported that exposure to vibration has considerable influences on human comfort, perception, and health. A number of researchers have also suggested that prolong exposure to vibration may give rise to fatigue sensation. Therefore, the issue of human response to vibration has received considerable critical attention. Following that, the ISO 2631-1 (1997) International Standard for human comfort has been developed. Although extensive research has been carried out on human body vibration and this international standard has been developed for human body comfort assessment, however, there is no equivalent standard for human drowsiness caused by vibration in ISO standard. Although few studies have investigated the association between vibration and drowsiness, the evidence for this relationship is inconclusive. In recent years, vehicle crashes have become a major social safety problem. One of the most important factors contributing to the high fatalities was the reduction of the driver’s cognitive state in their perception, situational awareness, and vehicle control abilities while being drowsy. Several studies have shown that there is a possible link between sleep deprivation and psychomotor deficit that can cause an accident. However, none of these studies has considered vibration that can cause drowsiness. The influence of vibration on the seated occupant drowsiness was not well investigated. Although many studies have reported the effects of vibration on comfort of the seated human body, the effects of fatigue, and particularly drowsiness, are yet to be rigorously characterised. This is due to several factors: a) the use of “fatigue” as a general term that is poorly defined in the literature b) “fatigue” being multifactorial c) specific types of “fatigue” not having been well studied in the context of vibration. Hence, comprehensive studies undertaken includes the experiment design and drowsiness measurement method. First, study approach was to identify the existence of drowsiness caused by vibration from the measurement of brainwave activity. The significant decrease in beta activity and an increase in theta activity obtained from the brainwave measurement (electroencephalogram) suggested that the exposure to low-frequency vibration between 1 - 15 Hz may ultimately lead to a decrease in alertness level. Secondly, following the exposure to vibration, human performance was assessed by measuring the changes in reaction time (RT). Clinically significant results (p ≤ 0.001) were obtained using PVT test. A significant increase in a number of lapses (RT > 500ms) and a substantial increase in mean reaction time (12% in 0.2 ms-2 r.m.s and 27% in 0.4 ms-2 r.m.s)…

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado em Gestão e Políticas Públicas
Este trabalho parte da análise do acervo de dados disponíveis na entidade reguladora
do sector do ensino e avaliação de condutores para investigar alguns dos fatores que
podem influenciar o desempenho dos candidatos a condutor nas provas do exame de
condução. Utilizando parte das variáveis disponíveis nas aplicações informáticas da
entidade reguladora, caracteriza-se o sistema de avaliação da condução na perspetiva
do candidato a condutor, da escola de condução e do centro de exames. Mediante o
resultado da caracterização de todos os candidatos a condutor, analisam-se os
processos de aprendizagem completos que permitem a condução de automóveis ligeiros
de passageiros (categoria B), ou seja, analisam-se os processos onde se verifique o
registo de início de aprendizagem e aprovação na prova teórica e na prova prática do
exame, de modo a estudar a influência dos fatores idade, género, local de residência e
localização da escola de condução. Explora-se, também, a diferença de resultados
médios das provas teóricas e das provas práticas, ao nível das escolas de condução e
dos distritos de Portugal continental e identificam-se as situações de candidatos a
condutor que repetem várias vezes as provas de exame, avançando-se com o valor de
repetições que poderá ser considerado crítico.
This study characterizes the Portuguese Driving School industry and investigates the
determinants of student performance on both the theory and practical driving exams. The
study makes use of detailed school, exam center and student information available to the
regulator to not only characterize the industry as a whole but also to show to what extent
factors such as age, gender, and other student- and school-level demographics help to
explain differences in exam performance (as measured by pass or fail) among students.
Several policy implications of the findings – including a discussion of actions that a
regulator might consider for students/schools with poor success rates – are discussed.

▼ Two major objectives of organisations are to achieve
firm
performance and to maintain a competitive advantage;
strategies to achieve these objectives differ widely. Research at
the entrepreneurship and marketing interface investigates the
application of both dimensions on firm activities, processes and
behaviour to achieve different
performance parameters. In the field
of entrepreneurial marketing research two key approaches are
discussed: a market-driven and a market-
driving approach.
Market-driven approaches, though applied by many organisations, are
less successful in allowing organisations to outperform others and
create long-term competitive advantage. Market-
driving, on the
other hand, is considered to contribute to enduring competitive
advantage. Current research indicates that the construct of market
driving and the factors that influence it are not well understood.
The purpose of this study is therefore to measure market
driving
and determine firm-internal factors that influence an
organisation’s market-
driving ability in the South African
healthcare industry. In this research, constructs drawn from the
literature study were used to formulate the conceptual framework
and statistical model. The empirical part of the study used a fully
structured telephonic questionnaire and the respondents were
managers in organisations in the South African healthcare industry.
Data analysis employed structural equation modelling. The results
indicate that market
driving can reliably be measured by three
activities: market sensing; influencing customer preferences; and
alliance formation. Entrepreneurial behaviour, strategic
orientation and entrepreneurial capital have a more positive impact
on market-
driving ability than corporate entrepreneurial
management. The study demonstrated that market-
driving ability
significantly benefits firm
performance and relative competitive
strength. The study provides a solid basis for future research in
the field. Moreover, the results of the study can be applied by
organisations in a three-step process. First, organisations can
assess their current level of market
driving. Second, they can
assess influencing factors, and finally identify areas for
improvement. Through continuous reassessment organisations can work
on their market-
driving ability to achieve their organisational
objectives.

▼ The task of navigation adds cognitive distraction to the already demanding task of
driving. Most popular navigation aids provide verbal directions based solely on distances and street names, but the inclusion of landmark descriptions in these instructions can improve navigation
performance, decrease unsafe
driving behaviors and reduce cognitive load. Current approaches to selecting landmarks and building landmark-based instructions rely on a single source of data, thereby limiting the set of potential landmarks, or use a single factor in choosing the best landmark, failing to account for all characteristics that make a landmark suitable for navigation. We develop a multi-pipeline system that leverages both human (crowd-sourced) input and machine-based approaches to find, describe and choose the best landmark. Additionally, we develop a mobile application for the delivery of navigation instructions based on landmarks. We evaluate the cost and
performance differences between these pipelines, as well as study the effect of landmark navigation prompts on cognitive load, safe
driving behavior and driver satisfaction via an in situ experiment.

▼ The state-of-the-practice for most municipal traffic agencies seeking to identify high-risk road segments has been to use prior crash history. While historic traffic crash data is recognized to be valuable in improving roadway safety, it relies on prior observation rather than future crash likelihood. Recently, however, researchers are developing predictive crash methods based on “abnormal driving events.” These include abrupt and atypical vehicle movements thought to be indicative of crash avoidance maneuvers and/or near-crashes. Because these types of near-crash events occur far more frequently than actual crashes, it is hypothesized that they can be used as an indicator of high-risk locations and, even more valuably, to identify where crashes are likely to occur in the future. This thesis describes the results of research that used naturalistic driving data collected from global positioning system (GPS) sensors to locate high concentrations of abrupt and atypical vehicle movements in Baton Rouge, Louisiana based on vehicle rate of change of acceleration (jerk). Statistical analyses revealed that clusters of high magnitude jerk events while decelerating were significantly correlated to long-term crash rates at these same locations. These significant and consistent relationships between jerks and crashes suggest that these events can be used as surrogate measures of safety and as a way of predicting safety problems before even a single crash has occurred.

▼ Driving is a complex task that requires a high level
of attention for the safe operation of a motor vehicle. However,
the human attention system is limited in capacity, and distraction
arises when there is a competition for attention from non-driving
related activities. When insufficient attention is prioritized to
the road ahead, driving safety may be undermined. Cognitive
distraction, one form of driver distraction, occurs when attention
is withdrawn from the primary task of driving to a competing
cognitive event. In this dissertation, I implemented four studies
involving behavioural and electrophysiological methods to expand
our current understanding of the impact of cognitive distraction on
driver attention and performance. The first three studies focused
on the emotional side of cognitive distraction, while study four
focused on the social and cognitive influence of an in-car
passenger. Study one aimed to examine the potential for driver
distraction from emotional information presented on roadside
billboards. To achieve this, participants operated a driving
simulator in the presence of positive, negative, and neutral words.
Study two investigated the behavioural and event-related potential
(ERP) effects elicited by auditory words of different emotional
valence (positive, negative, and neutral) during driving
(dual-task) and non-driving (single-task) conditions. The primary
goal was to determine whether distraction presented in the auditory
modality would produce a similar pattern of effects as visual
distraction. The secondary goal was to assess the allocation of
neural resources under single and dual-task conditions. Study three
aimed to examine the effects of highly arousing taboo-related
distraction on driving performance. Participants operated a driving
simulator in the presence of non-arousing words, moderately
arousing positive and negative words, and highly arousing taboo
words, presented on roadside billboards. Study four examined the
attentional effects of driving with an in-car passenger, using
electrophysiological methods. The objective was to investigate the
relationship between attention, cognitive load, and social demands,
related to the presence of a passenger. Findings from the first
three studies provided novel insights and significant contributions
to the literature on driver distraction by: (a) providing evidence
that emotion-related distraction can capture and modulate attention
to impact driving behaviour, (b) providing evidence that the
processing of emotional information while driving likely influences
higher-order cognitive processes rather than lower level sensory
and perceptual processes, and (c) providing evidence that driving
performance is differentially influenced by the valence (positive
vs. negative) and arousal (high vs. moderate) of the emotional
content; these unique effects reflect separate processes in the
attention system, related to how arousal and valence interacts.
Study four provided novel insights and significant contributions to
the driving literature by: (a) providing…

▼ Background: Neuropsychological impairment accompanies clinically stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Cognitive deterioration may impair patient’s ability to perform tasks like driving vehicles, requiring increased vigilance. We investigated whether subclinical neuropsychological deficits occur in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with mild hypoxemia (PaO2>55 mmHg) and whether these deficits affect their driving performance.Methods: We recruited 35 stable COPD patients and 10 normal subjects matched for age, intelligence quotient (IQ) and level of education. In both groups there was no subject with visual or acoustic deficits, neurological or psychiatric disease and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. All subjects underwent an attention/alertness battery of tests for assessing driving performance based on the Vienna Test System. Pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases, and dyspnea severity were also recorded.Results: COPD patients performed significantly worse than normal subjects on tests suitable for evaluating driving ability. They demonstrated delayed reaction times to visual and acoustic stimuli and impairments in motor activity and perceptive speed in traffic situations. Because of this many (22/35) COPD patients were classified as having inadequate driving ability (failure at least in one of the tests), whereas most (8/10) healthy individuals could be safe drivers (p=0.029). Levels of PaO2, FEV1 and dyspnea severity were correlated significantly with almost all neuropsychological tests.Conclusions: The present findings provide evidence that COPD patients may manifest impaired information processing operations as they are reflected by the use of the Vienna Test System assessing driving performance. COPD patients should be warned of the potential danger and risk they face when they drive any kind of vehicle, even when they do not exhibit overt symptoms related to driving inability.

▼ This thesis investigated a range of factors underlying the impact of uncorrected refractive errors on laboratory-based tests related to driving. Results showed that refractive blur had a pronounced effect on recognition of briefly presented targets, particularly under low light conditions. Blur, in combination with audio distracters, also slowed a participant's reactions to road hazards in video presentations. This suggests that recognition of suddenly appearing road hazards might be slowed in the presence of refractive blur, particularly under conditions of distraction. These findings highlight the importance of correcting even small refractive errors for driving, particularly at night.

▼ The effects of in-vehicle automation and
driving assistant systems on the mental workload and situation awareness of drivers have been the interest of many studies; some of the implications of automation in such man-machine systems have been identified. Due to the introduction of advanced automated systems in agricultural machinery, farmers are currently working with semi-autonomous vehicles. A human factors perspective on the design of these systems will ensure safe and efficient operation of such man-machine systems.
In this study, a systematic approach was utilized to address human factors issues associated with operating a semi-autonomous agricultural vehicle, and to provide design recommendations. The study was carried out in three stages. First, a task analysis was used to identify tasks associated with operating an agricultural vehicle and to select appropriate experimental variables. Next, a preliminary experiment was performed to validate the test procedure and measurement techniques. Finally, the main experiment was administered. Experiments were conducted using the Tractor
Driving Simulator located in the Agricultural Ergonomics Laboratory at the University of Manitoba. Thirty young experienced tractor drivers participated in this study. The experiment investigated the effects of i) vehicle steering task automation (VSTA) and ii) implement control and monitoring task automation (ICMTA) on mental workload and situation awareness of drivers.
It was found that ICMTA significantly affected situation awareness (and its underlying components) of the operator. The situation awareness of drivers increased as the automation support level increased, but the highest level of automation, where the participants were out of the task loop, resulted in low situation awareness, similar to the condition with no automation support. VSTA only reduced the attentional demand of the situation, one of the three components of the situation awareness, which had negative effect on overall situation awareness.
Based on the results from a subjective mental workload measure, moderate levels of mental workload were reported when the participants were involved in the implement control and monitoring task loop. The highest level of ICMTA reduced the average mental workload by 18%. Reaction time of drivers and number of errors committed by drivers both decreased as the automation level increased.

▼ Purpose: To examine the validity of the interactive
driving simulator for determining fitness to drive for older adults with cognitive impairment. Method: This pretest/posttest design had ten older adults complete two "test" scenarios, receive additional experience, and then perform the same two scenarios plus a third scenario. Participants and four reviewers scored their
performance. Performances were compared between the participants with cognitive impairment, physical impairment, and no diagnosis as well as between participants' and reviewers' scores. Results: There was no significant change in self-awareness or self-efficacy as a group.
Driving performance in terms of safety and errors did not significantly improve after the simulator training intervention. Scores by the researchers were lower in terms of safety, especially for those with cognitive impairment. However, scores on the number of errors were more similar, that is, participants were more accurate in identifying the amount of errors they committed. Conclusion: Participants appeared to appreciate their mistakes made on simulator. However, although their perception of mistakes improves, the knowledge did not change their perception about their safety to drive. Only two participants changed their perception of his or her ability to drive, one improving and one decreasing in ability. For clients with cognitive impairments, the
driving simulator may not be a useful tool for increasing self-awareness. However, unsafe
driving behaviors were observed by clinicians, suggesting the interactive
driving simulator may be an effective tool for assessment.

▼ Driving while sleepy, drowsy or fatigued are leading contributors to road crashes. Sleepiness, drowsiness and fatigue usually occur at the end of a prolonged period of time during which an individual has been awake. Although these factors have been heavily researched, it is not clear how one of their primary causes, a prolonged total awake time (TAT), might affect
driving skills such as hazard anticipation, hazard mitigation and attention maintenance, three skills that are crucial for safe
driving.
The first experiment investigated how these three
driving skills are affected by prolonged TAT, and if so to what extent. Forty-eight participants completed two separate
driving simulator sessions, one a pre-test and one a post-test. Based on the online questionnaire, participants were assigned to two different groups, namely Short-hours and Long-hours. A total of two hours elapsed between the pre-test and post-test for the Short-hours group. A total of twelve hours elapsed between the pre-test and post-test for the Long-hours group. The pre-test session was administered at 9:00 a.m. or 10:00 a.m. for both Short-hours and Long-hours groups. The post-test session was administered at 11:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. for the Short-hours group and at 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m. for the Long-hours group. It was expected that Long-hours group would perform on average more poorly in the post-test due to a longer total awake time. In each session, participants were asked to navigate a simulated world that included twelve scenarios: four examined drivers' hazard anticipation skills, four examined hazard mitigation skills and four examined attention maintenance skills. While
driving, all participants' eye behaviors were measured. The results showed that the Long-hours group drivers' hazard anticipation, hazard mitigation and attention maintenance skills were compromised.
The above findings led to the development of a PC-Based Sleepiness and Fatigued
Driving Evaluation and Training Program (SAFE-T) that was used to train drivers in each of the three
driving skills mentioned above. The SAFE-T Program was configured to run on a standard PC so that the training could be undertaken without the need for advanced simulation by any drivers whose jobs required that they be awake and
driving at the end of a long shift.
The second experiment investigated if the SAFE-T Program would effectively train drivers who were awake for a prolonged period of time to maintain their
driving performance in each of the three
driving skills, namely hazard anticipation, hazard mitigation, and attention maintenance. Based on the online questionnaire, participants were assigned to two different groups, namely Trained (SAFE-T) and Placebo. Thirty-six participants completed a pre-test, the SAFE-T or placebo training, and a post-test. All participants were in the Long-hours condition in this experiment, which is a total of twelve hours (the time that elapsed between the pre-test and the post-test). The pre-test was administered at 9:00 a.m. or 10:30…

▼ Driving performance can be directly
related to the driver behaviour in terms of the mental workload and
risk perception. No generally accepted model or system exists that
can model the
driving task or driver
performance in a comprehensive
manner. The purpose of this research is to develop a methodology
using a series of modelling techniques to evaluate
driving
performance under naturalistic
driving contexts. Exploratory
statistical techniques and artificial neural network have been used
as the backbone of the work presented in this thesis to determine
and classify driver
performance in different categories by
identifying underlying natural sub-sets in the
driving data set. A
safe and experienced driver should possess the knowledge and the
experience about his/her
driving skills along with an acute
awareness of the surrounding
driving environment. The methodology
proposed in this thesis can be used for various applications
including evaluation of
driving performance of emergency ambulance
drivers.

▼ Police officers frequently work long, irregular and fatiguing shifts, including night shifts. The effects of night shift work on both waking alertness and ability to sleep during the day may result in degraded police officer
performance during operational tasks such as
driving and decision making, especially in ambiguous and fast-paced situations. Such decrements in
performance by police officers can have catastrophic effects on officers, police departments, municipal governments, and the public through increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. This study examined the effects of consecutive night shift work on police officer
performance using a unique research design combining controlled laboratory measures of
performance and police officers working actual night shifts in the field. Measures included simulated routine
driving, psychomotor vigilance, and simulated deadly force decision making as well as subjective sleepiness. N=30 police patrol officers were studied on two separate occasions during their normal duty cycle: in the morning immediately following five consecutive night shifts, and at the same time in the morning following three days off duty. Mixed-effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed degraded simulated
driving (F1,78=6.78; P=0.011), vigilance (F1,161=14.06; P<0.001), and increased subjective sleepiness (F1,84=96.99; P<0.001) following five consecutive night shifts on duty compared to three days off duty. Repeated measures ANOVA also showed significantly different false alarm rates (F1,53=4.82; P=0.033) with higher instances of false alarms occurring following the night shift condition, and sensitivity, or ability to detect a threat presented, (F1,53=5.94; P=0.018) with increased signal sensitivity seen during the control condition.Police officers experienced degraded simulated
driving and psychomotor vigilance, impaired simulated deadly force decision making
performance, and higher subjective sleepiness following consecutive night shifts on duty. These results indicate that police officers are suffering the effects of night shift work on operational
performance, creating a safety risk for themselves and the public. Additionally, the success of this study, involving combined laboratory and field data collection, indicates that the study is a useful approach for investigating the relationship between shift work induced fatigue and operational
performance.

▼ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) offer the possibility of helping drivers to fulfill their driving tasks. Automated vehicles are capable of communicating with surrounding vehicles (V2V) and infrastructure (V2I) in order to collect and provide essential information about driving environment. Studies have proved that automated vehicles have a potential to decrease traffic congestion on road networks by reducing the time headway, enhancing the traffic capacity and improving the safety margins in car following. Furthermore, vehicle movement and drivers behavior of conventional vehicles will be affected by the presence of automated vehicles in traffic networks. Despite different encouraging factors, automated driving raises some concerns such as possible loss of situation awareness, overreliance on automation and degrading driving skills in absence of practice. Moreover, coping with complex scenarios, such as merging at ramps and overtaking, in terms of interaction between automated vehicles and conventional vehicles need more research. This thesis work aims to investigate the effects of automated vehicles on drivers behavior and traffic performance. A broad literature review in the area of driving simulators and psychological studies was performed to examine the automated vehicle effects on drivers behavior. Findings from the literature survey, which has been served as setup values in the simulation study of the current work, reveal that the conventional vehicles, which are driving close to the platoon of automated vehicles with short time headway, tend to reduce their time headway and spend more time under their critical time headway. Additionally, driving highly automated vehicles is tedious in a long run, reduce situation awareness and can intensify driver drowsiness, exclusively in light traffic. In order to investigate the influences of automated vehicles on traffic performance, a microscopic simulation case study consisting of different penetration rates of automated vehicles (0, 50 and 100 percentages) was conducted in VISSIM software. The scenario network is a three-lane autobahn segment of 2.9 kilometers including an off-ramp, on-ramp and a roundabout with some surrounding urban roads. Outputs of the microscopic simulation in this study reveal that the positive effects of automated vehicles on roads are especially highlighted when the network is crowded (e.g. peak hours). This can definitely count as a constructive point for the future of road networks with higher demands. In details, average density of autobahn segment remarkably decreased by 8.09% during p.m. peak hours in scenario with automated vehicles. Besides, Smoother traffic flow with less queue in the weaving segment was observed. Result of the scenario with 50% share of automated vehicles moreover shows a feasible interaction between conventional vehicles and automated vehicles.

▼ Driving performance can be directly related to the driver behaviour in terms of the mental workload and risk perception. No generally accepted model or system exists that can model the
driving task or driver
performance in a comprehensive manner. The purpose of this research is to develop a methodology using a series of modelling techniques to evaluate
driving performance under naturalistic
driving contexts. Exploratory statistical techniques and artificial neural network have been used as the backbone of the work presented in this thesis to determine and classify driver
performance in different categories by identifying underlying natural sub-sets in the
driving data set. A safe and experienced driver should possess the knowledge and the experience about his/her
driving skills along with an acute awareness of the surrounding
driving environment. The methodology proposed in this thesis can be used for various applications including evaluation of
driving performance of emergency ambulance drivers.

▼ Sleepiness causes
performance decrements that lead to thousands of crashes and fatalities annually. Research supports the conclusions that sleep duration and circadian rhythms impact sleepiness and affect
driving performance. Conflicting in the literature is whether severity of sleep disorders, sleep quality and subjective sleepiness affect
driving performance. The correlation between a driver's perception of their sleepiness and their
driving performance is also unclear. The primary goal of this study was to create an in-depth model demonstrating which measures of sleepiness influence
driving performance. It was hypothesized that sleep quality, sleep apnea severity and subjective sleepiness add to a model of how sleep constructs impact
driving performance. The secondary goal of this study was to compare trait and state sleepiness to determine which correlates with
driving performance. It was hypothesized that participants with state sleepiness would have a greater decline across the 60-minute drive as compared to participants with trait sleepiness. Both sleepiness groups would have increased lane position variability compared to the normal group. The tertiary goal was to examine
driving performance decrements of sleep apnea drivers compared with healthy controls. It was hypothesized that the sleep apnea group would perform worse on the
driving simulator test compared with the control group.
Results indicate that sleep quality and subjective trait sleepiness significantly add to models of sleepiness and
driving performance. The model developed here show that years with driver's license, sleep efficiency and trait sleepiness are significant predictors of lane position variability. Also, results show that
driving performance is worse for participants high in trait sleepiness. Participants with high state sleepiness had no significant
performance differences compared to non-sleepy participants. Sleep apnea participants did not perform significantly worse than controls as hypothesized but there was a significant group by time interaction indicating that sleep apnea participants'
performance degraded more quickly over the course of the drive. These results can be generalized to the community members and students, but not necessarily to sleep disorder center patients.

▼ Distraction from the use of mobile phones has been identified as one of the causes of road traffic crashes. Voice control technology has been suggested as a potential solution to driver distraction by the manual use of mobile phones. However, new evidence has shown that using voice control interfaces while
driving could require more from drivers in terms of cognitive load and visual attention compared to using a mobile phone manually. Further, several factors that moderate the use of voice control interfaces, for example, usability and acceptance are poorly understood. Thus, the current study aims to investigate the safety impact of using voice control interfaces on
driving performance. A preliminary study, an online survey and a
driving experiment were conducted to investigate how drivers interact with smartphone voice control interfaces and their effects on
driving performance. First, the usage pattern of voice control interfaces while
driving was explored using focus groups and interviews (preliminary study) and an online survey. Next, 55 participants completed a simulated
driving task that utilises a valid and standardised method called the Lane Change Test (LCT). The purpose was to measure degradation of
driving performance due to the concurrent
performance of secondary tasks; either contact calling, playing music or text messaging task. These secondary tasks were identified as common tasks in the survey of the pattern of use of voice control interfaces while
driving. Secondary tasks were performed in both visual-manual and voice control modes with either an Apple or a Samsung smartphone. Data on eye glance behaviour, workload and, usability and acceptance of the voice control interfaces were also collected. Findings support the view that interacting with voice control interfaces while
driving reduces distraction from visual-manual interfaces but is still distracting compared to
driving without using any devices. Texting was found to degrade task and
driving performance regardless of control modes and phone type. Moreover, poor system
performance leads to low acceptance of voice control technology. Smartphone voice control interfaces have an apparent advantage over visual-manual interfaces. However, they still can impose some elements of distraction that may have negative implications for road safety.

▼ Cognitive aspects of
driving on a winding roadway were
investigated using a model comprised of a driver, a vehicle, and a
roadway. The model contained a feedback loop for maintaining lane
position and feedforward that utilized anticipatory roadway
information available in preview (Donges, 1978, McRuer, Allen,
Weir, & Klein, 1977). Perturbation techniques assessed both
feedback control and feedforward attention. Subjects’ attentional
allocation to preview was determined by analyzing the Fourier
spectrum of their steering movements as they attempted to center a
cursor on a winding roadway. This technique provided a distribution
of signal-to-noise ratios indicating where and how much attention
subjects allocated to different preview locations. We used this
measure to test predictions of an optimal control model (Miller,
1976) that attention for a rate control system would be
concentrated on preview regions closer to the vehicle and decrease
to almost no attention to regions further away. Experiment 1
demonstrated that the measurement technique could adequately
capture how subjects allocated attention. We compared how the
spatiotemporal shape and the relative magnitude of subjects’
attentional distribution changed when they had restricted or fuller
view of the upcoming roadway. We found subjects performed better
with fuller view, and that they distributed their attention in a
manner that was qualitatively consistent with Miller’s (1976)
predictions. Comparisons between different regions of restricted
preview found subjects could shift their attention equally well to
near or far preview regions. Experiment 2 manipulated subjects’
tracking style by putting them in an error minimizing or an effort
minimizing mode. We examined their attentional allocation with
restricted preview and failed to find support for a generalization
of Miller’s (1976) model for fuller view, which predicted subjects
would allocate less attention to preview when they prioritized
minimizing their effort. In contrast feedback control was affected,
which indicated that feedback and feedforward control may be two
independent aspects of tracking control. Experiment 3 tested
whether subjects’ attentional distributions changed in response to
the dynamics of the vehicle being controlled. Previous researchers
have found that higher derivative control systems require more
anticipatory information (e.g., McRuer & Jex, 1967; Miller
1976). Subjects tracked the oncoming roadway with both a rate and a
sluggish lag control dynamic. We failed to find a difference in the
feedforward attentional allocation between these two system
dynamics, but did find a difference in feedback control. However,
combining results from these experiments with those of Jagacinski,
Hammond, and Rizzi (2017), who used a position control, we
determined that attention is adaptive to control dynamics and
susceptible to task-relevant distractions. Overall, these results
suggest that feedforward attention and feedback control contributed
independently to tracking. Feedback control was more…

▼ It has been proposed that cell phone use
while
driving may provide benefits during monotonous trips (Pope,
2009). Previous research has shown that voice communication
enhances mental alertness when
driving long distances (Drory,
1985). A recent study showed that a strategically placed verbal
task may improve
performance during monotonous
driving conditions
(Atchley & Chan, 2011). Nevertheless, the interaction of
monotony and fatigue in different
driving conditions when engaged
in more personalized conversation has not been well-explored. The
present study tested whether the effects of cell phone use on
driver
performance and subjective state differ depending on the
fatigue induced by qualitatively different
driving scenarios:
passive fatigue and control conditions (see Desmond & Hancock,
2011). Passive fatigue appears to be associated with low workload
(underload) conditions, in which cognitive demands on the driver
are low (e.g., monotonous conditions characterized by low traffic
density, minimal steering demands, and constant speed).
Results of this study showed that the passive
form of fatigue appears to be particularly hazardous in
driving.
Further, cell phone conversation did not serve to reduce the
subjective experience of passive fatigue; rather, it added worry
about matters unrelated to the
driving task. Regarding
performance,
cell phone use moderately improves vehicle control, but did not
improve brake response times or crash rates. Moreover, cell phone
conversation appears to reduce drivers’ insights into their own
performance impairments when passively fatigued, which is a
potentially hidden danger. Finally, certain personality types are
more prone to passive fatigue.

▼ This research program examined the factors of motivation and genetic variations for their effects on sleepiness and performance. The results suggest that certain genetic variations were found to influence aspects of physiological and subjective sleepiness as well as performance outcomes. Motivation had no effect on performance when partially sleep deprived, but motivation improved task performance on a low-order cognitive task when fully rested. The results suggest sleepiness is resistant to motivation to improve performance. As such, drivers who continue to drive while sleepy by applying extra effort to the task of driving are engaging in a risky driving behaviour.
