SIS35: Human Factors Challenges of Vehicle Automation
Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2014 Time: 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM
Location: Cobo 141
The session will report on the achievements of the European Project VRA (Vehicle Road Automation) with particular emphasis on the discussions around the human factors challenges of automated vehicles.
The session will also report on the latest status of a document being prepared for the Tri Lateral Working Group on Automation in Road Transportation, which aims to “Identify, research, quantify, and evaluate applications that would improve the operation of Connected Road Vehicle Automation.” The aim of the Tri Lateral group is also to Co-ordinate research between U.S., EU and Japan on “the development of Connected Road Vehicle Automation technologies and concepts that facilitate deployment and market uptake.”
The session will also disseminate results from a number of recently completed projects in EU, U.S. and Japan, on human factors of automated driving and provide the audience with a chance to test and automated curve negotiation task, using a coupled driving simulator.
