Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Kyriakidis, M. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Fully automated driving can potentially provide enormous benefits to society. However, it has been unclear whether people will appreciate such far-reaching technology. This study investigated anonymous textual comments regarding fully automated driving, based on data extracted from three online surveys with 8,862 respondents from 112 countries....conference paper 2015

van Leeuwen, P.M. (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Previous research has shown that novice drivers have underdeveloped vehicle control skills and visual search strategies that differ from those of experienced drivers. However, little is known about how novices’ driving performance and gaze behavior jointly change over the course of practice. In this paper, we investigated changes in driving...conference paper 2015

Lu, Z. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)The paper reviews some of the essentials of human-machine interaction in automated driving, focusing on control authority transitions. We introduce a driving state model describing the human monitoring level and the allocation of lateral and longitudinal control tasks. An authority transition in automated driving is defined as the process of...conference paper 2015

Dodou, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)This random‐effects meta‐analysis investigates the accuracy of self‐reported colorectal cancer screening history as a function of screening mode (colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, faecal occult blood testing – FOBT, double‐contrast barium enema – DCBE) and survey mode (written, telephone, face‐to‐face). Summary estimates of sensitivity,...journal article 2015

Saffarian, M (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Senders, J.W. (author)It is commonly accepted that vision plays an important role in car braking, but it is unknown how people brake in the absence of visual information. In this simulator study, we measured drivers’ braking behaviour while they had to stop their car at designated positions on the road. The access to visual information was manipulated by occluding...journal article 2015

A quarter of a century of the DBQ: some supplementary notes on its validity with regard to accidentsde Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Stanton, NA (author)This article synthesises the latest information on the relationship between the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) and accidents. We show by means of computer simulation that correlations with accidents are necessarily small because accidents are rare events. An updated meta-analysis on the zero-order correlations between the DBQ and self...journal article 2015

Petermeijer, SM (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Mulder, M. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)A large number of haptic driver support systems have been described in the scientific literature. However, there is little consensus regarding the design, evaluation methods, and effectiveness of these systems. This literature survey aimed to investigate: (1) what haptic systems (in terms of function, haptic signal, channel, and supported task)...journal article 2015

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Hancock, PA (author)The science of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) often relies on self-report. This is a cause for concern because subjective methods are inherently susceptible to bias. Here, we present, examine and discuss a puzzling association between age and self-reported cognitive failures as assessed with Broadbent's Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ...journal article 2015

Katzourakis, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Alirezaei, M. (author), Corno, M. (author), Happee, R. (author)This paper presents a driving simulator experiment, which evaluates a road-departure prevention (RDP) system in an emergency situation. Two levels of automation are evaluated: 1) haptic feedback (HF) where the RDP provides advisory steering torque such that the human and the machine carry out the maneuver cooperatively, and 2) drive by wire (DBW...journal article 2014

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Happee, R. (author), Martens, M.H. (author), Stanton, N.A. (author)Adaptive cruise control (ACC), a driver assistance system that controls longitudinal motion, has been introduced in consumer cars in 1995. A next milestone is highly automated driving (HAD), a system that automates both longitudinal and lateral motion. We investigated the effects of ACC and HAD on drivers’ workload and situation awareness...journal article 2014

de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Human factors science has always been concerned with explaining and preventing human error and accidents. In the past 100 years, the field has shifted focus from a person approach to a system approach. In this opinion article, I provide five reasons why this shift is not opportune, and why person models are important for human factors science. I...journal article 2014

de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Situation awareness and workload are popular constructs in human factors science. It has been hotly debated whether these constructs are scientifically credible, or whether they should merely be seen as folk models. Reflecting on the works of psychophysicist Stanley Smith Stevens and of measurement theorist David Hand, we suggest a resolution to...journal article 2014

van Leeuwen, P.M. (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)The young driver problem requires remedial measures against speeding and overconfidence. Previous research has shown that increasing the task difficulty during training can enhance subsequent retention performance and prevent overconfidence. In this driving simulator study, we evaluated the training effectiveness of vertical field of view...journal article 2014

Five photovoltaic technologies are currently commercially available and it is still unclear which of these technologies will emerge as the dominant design. Based on the literature and on expert interviews, we develop and analyze categories and factors for technology...journal article 2014

This study investigated the training effectiveness of a visual search task in a driving simulator, aimed at increasing young drivers' spread of visual search. Two groups of inexperienced drivers were instructed to drive as accurately as possible in...conference paper 2013

de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Researchers occasionally have to work with an extremely small sample size, defined herein as N ≤ 5. Some methodologists have cautioned against using the t-test when the sample size is extremely small, whereas others have suggested that using the t-test is feasible in such a case. The present simulation study estimated the Type I error rate and...journal article 2013

de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Novice drivers are overrepresented in crash statistics and there is a clear need for remedial measures. Driving simulators allow for controlled and objective measurement of behavior and might therefore be a useful tool for predicting whether someone will commit deviant driving behaviors on the roads. However, little is currently known about the...journal article 2013
