Kim, S. (author)Automated vehicles are anticipated to not only improve safety and comfort but also redefine the nature of driver-vehicle interactions. With these advancements, drivers in automated vehicles share the monitoring and supervising role with the system, creating a unique human-machine team. In this relation, beyond technical excellence, it is...doctoral thesis 2024

Tabone, W. (author)This thesis explores how automated vehicles will interact with pedestrians in the urban environment through augmented reality technology. Nine distinct AR interfaces were designed, developed, and evaluated to assess how different design elements (symbols, text, colour) and distinct mappings of the AR (on the road, on the vehicle, or head-locked)...doctoral thesis 2024

Zgonnikov, A. (author), Beckers, N.W.M. (author), George, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Understanding behavior of human drivers in interactions with automated vehicles (AV) can aid the development of future AVs. Existing investigations of such behavior have predominantly focused on situations in which an AV a priori needs to take action because the human has the right of way. However, future AVs might need to proactively manage...journal article 2024

Xue, Fei (author), Yao, Enjian (author), Cherchi, Elisabetta (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author)Difficulty in finding parking spaces and high parking fees discourage private car usage. Fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) capable of self-parking away from destinations will likely remove this barrier. Despite extensive survey-based research on AVs in recent years, existing literature has not sufficiently addressed the potential impact of new...journal article 2024

Debbaghi, Fatima-Zahra (author), Kroesen, M. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Pudane, B. (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) may transform not only our travel experience but our complete daily schedules. This study analyses the data from an interactive stated activity-travel survey using latent class cluster analysis to uncover the types and prevalence of schedule changes with AVs. The analysis reveals that the majority of respondents expected...journal article 2024

(author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Merat, Natasha (author)The driving style of an automated vehicle (AV) needs to be comfortable to encourage the broad acceptance and use of this newly emerging transport mode. However, current research provides limited knowledge about what influences comfort, how this concept is described, and how it is measured. This knowledge is especially lacking when comfort is...journal article 2024

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Keviczky, T. (author)The acceptance of automated driving is under the potential threat of motion sickness. It hinders the passengers' willingness to perform secondary activities. In order to mitigate motion sickness in automated vehicles, we propose an optimization-based motion planning algorithm that minimizes the distribution of acceleration energy within the...journal article 2024
