Driving Automation (Human Factors, Simulation And Performance Assessment)

The technology behind self-driving cars is being heavily promulgated as the solution to a variety of transport problems including safety, congestion, and impact on the environment. This reference text examines a key role for human factors to play in driving forward future vehicle automation in a way that realizes the benefits while avoiding the pitfalls. Driving Automation: A Human Factors Perspective addresses a range of issues related to vehicle automation beyond the "how" or "can we" to "what will be the implications". It covers important topics including mental workload and malleable resources theory, effects of adaptive cruise control on mental workload, in-vehicle interface design, driver modeling and monitoring, eco-driving, responses to automation failure, and brake reaction time with automation. The text will be useful for graduate students and professionals in diverse areas such as ergonomics, automobile engineering, human factors, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and health, and safety.
