Driving Experience and Behavior Change in Remote Driving: An Explorative Experimental Study

Remote driving plays an essential role in coordinating automated vehicles in some challenging situations. Due to the changed driving environment, the experiences and behaviors of remote drivers would undergo some changes compared to conventional drivers. To study this, a continuous real-life and remote driving experiment is conducted under...

Estimating an LPV model of neuromuscular admittance with grip force as scheduling parameter

Development of adaptive haptic shared control system requires understanding of the adaptive nature of the driver’s neuromuscular system. In this study, linear parameter varying modeling techniques are proposed to identify changes in the admittance of the driver’s arm. The admittance describes the relation between the torque applied to the...

Safety analysis of passing maneuvers using extreme value theory

The increased availability of detailed trajectory data sets from naturalistic, observational and simulation-based studies are a key source for potential improvements in the development of detailed safety models that explicitly account for vehicle conflict interactions and the various driving maneuvers. Despite the well-recognized research...

Evacuation plan of the city of almere: Simulating the impact of driving behavior on evacuation clearance time

The evacuation clearance time is one of the key indicators in an evacuation plan and is determined by the expected behavior of the endangered residents and roadway network characteristics. The city of Almere has developed an evacuation plan in case of the emergency of a flooding, but assumes a normal driving behavior of the evacuees. In this...
