Berge, S.H. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Cleij, Diane (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Automated vehicles pose a unique challenge to the safety of vulnerable road users. Research on cyclist-automated vehicle interaction has received relatively little attention compared to pedestrian safety. This exploratory study aims to bridge this gap by identifying cyclist-automated vehicle scenarios and providing recommendations for future...journal article 2024

Sözüdüz, Mehmet (author)Reinforcement Learning (RL) has gained atten-tion as a way of creating autonomous agents for self-driving cars. This paper explores the adap- tation of the Deep Q Network (DQN), a popular deep RL algorithm, in the Carla traffic simulator for autonomous driving. It investigates the influ- ence of action space discretization and DQN ex-<br/...bachelor thesis 2023

Lupetti, M.L. (author), Cavalcante Siebert, L. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)In this paper, we problematize popular narratives of driving automation. Whether positive or negative, these propagate simplistic assumptions about human abilities and reinforce technocratic approaches to mobility innovation. We build on narrative approaches to participatory research and adversarial design, to explore how design-led...conference paper 2023

Tinga, Angelica M. (author), van Zeumeren, I.M. (author), Christoph, Michiel (author), van Grondelle, E.D. (author), Cleij, Diane (author), Aldea, Anna (author), van Nes, C.N. (author)With increasing implementation of automated driving technology it is expected that different automation modes will be present within the same vehicle and within a single trip. At all times during automated driving the driver needs to have ‘mode awareness’, which is an understanding of the automation mode and the corresponding responsibilities...journal article 2023

Jain, V. (author), Kumar, Sandeep Suresh (author), Papaioannou, G. (author), Happee, R. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)In the transition from partial to high automation, occupants will no longer be actively involved in driving. This will allow the use of travel time for work or leisure, where high comfort levels preventing motion sickness are required. In this paper, an optimal trajectory planning algorithm is presented in order to minimise motion sickness in...journal article 2023

Rajesh, Nishant (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)Automated vehicles promise numerous advantages to their users. The proposed benefits could however be overshadowed by a rise in the susceptibility of passengers to motion sickness due to their engagement in non-driving tasks. Increasing attention is paid to designing vehicle motion to mitigate motion sickness. In this work, the deep...journal article 2023

Bhoopalam, Anirudh Kishore (author), van den Berg, Roy (author), Agatz, Niels (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Work towards making automated driving systems a reality is well underway. In this study, we look at what is likely to be one of the first widespread implementations of a form of automated driving on public roads, i.e., truck platooning, where virtually connected trucks drive at short headways to save fuel and associated emissions. With...journal article 2023

(author)Tesla's Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD) program introduces technology that extends the operational design domain of standard Autopilot from highways to urban roads. This research conducted 103 in-depth semi-structured interviews with users of Tesla's FSD Beta and standard Autopilot to evaluate the impact on user behavior and perception. It was...journal article 2023

Sigl, Martin (author), Prins, Binnert (author), Schutz, Christoph (author), Wagner, Sebastian (author), Schulte, F. (author), Watzenig, Daniel (author)One of the major challenges in the development of Automated Driving is its assessment. It is expected that Automated Vehicles behave differently than human drivers. Therefore, mixed human-robot traffic will yield different and new driving situations as human-only traffic. It is important to know how this mixed traffic will change the...conference paper 2023

El Jouhri, A. (author), El Sharkawy, A. (author), Paksoy, H. (author), Youssif, O.K.S.A. (author), He, X. (author), Kim, S. (author), Happee, R. (author)Introduction: SAE Level 3 is known as conditional driving automation. As long as certain conditions are met, there is no need to supervise the technology and the driver can engage in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs). However, a human driver must be present and alert to take over when the automation is facing its system limits. When such an...journal article 2023

Braun, M. (author)This thesis addresses the topic of visual person detection and pose estimation. While these tasks are relevant for a broad range of applications, this thesis focuses on the domain of intelligent vehicles in urban traffic scenes. This domain is particularly interesting due to specific challenges related to visual perception from a moving vehicle....doctoral thesis 2022

Beekes, Sebastiaan (author)Testing Sidewalk Autonomous Delivery Robot (SADR) performance in real world conditions is important to prove whether the innovation is ready for large-scale adoption. Currently, testing SADRs in public is not allowed in the Netherlands, because little is known about the actual risks associated with delivery robots, and the risks are currently...master thesis 2022

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)The last few years have seen a wealth of research on external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs). It has been argued that eHMIs are vital because they fill the social interaction void that arises with the introduction of automated vehicles (AVs). However, there is still much discussion about whether eHMIs are needed. The present article surveys...journal article 2022

Calvert, S.C. (author), van Arem, B. (author), Lappin, Jane (author)Traffic safety is arguably the most important traffic metric from a human perspective. Still, many millions of people are killed on roads every year. In this paper, the concept of Herd Immunity for Traffic Safety (HITS) is presented for the first time. This concept focuses on identifying and describing the increased level of safety that is...journal article 2022
