Bogaart, Loran (author)In order to design safe and effective interactions between autonomous vehicles (AVs) and human road users, it is essential to understand the mechanisms underlying human-human merging behavior. Driving simulator experiments can be used to study these mechanisms, but previous research has primarily focused on the behavior of individual drivers...master thesis 2023

Sevenster, A.L.A. (author), Farah, H. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Overtaking on two-lane roads can lead to increased collision risks due to drivers' errors in evaluating whether or not to accept the gap to the vehicle in the opposite lane. Understanding these gap acceptance decisions can help mitigate the risks associated with overtaking. Previous research on overtaking has focused on the factors...journal article 2023

Chadha, Akhil (author)Driving simulators have been used in the automotive industry for many years now. They have been vastly employed for conducting tests in a safe, reproducible and controlled immersive virtual environment. The ability of the simulator to recreate the in-vehicle experience for the occupant is established through motion cueing algorithms. Such...master thesis 2022

van Veldhoven, Thijs (author)This study investigates the effectiveness of vehicle dynamics and road environment data for predicting lateral accelerations and yaw rates. This prediction is used to preposition a simulator in anticipation of this motion. A prediction model was created using the road curvature at a specific look-ahead<br/>time and the current vehicle velocity....master thesis 2022

Wiersma, Jitse (author)New applications of connectivity between vehicles and the infrastructure are developed. One of these applications is providing upstream information on variable speed limits to connected and automated vehicles. It is expected that the connectivity can contribute to safer roads due to better compliance to the posted speed limits. Those...master thesis 2022

Talsma, Tessa (author)Higher levels of automation in driving may allow drivers to engage in other activities, but may also increase the likelihood of Motion Sickness (MS). The exact causes of MS are not well understood, and various susceptibility factors(e.g. age, gender, ethnicity) can cause large individual differences. To better understand and predict MS, it is...master thesis 2022

Damian, Mircea (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Carrera Akutain, Xabier (author), Happee, R. (author)A realistic steering feel is one of the key elements to guarantee fidelity on a driving simulator in general, and in particular to replicate on-centre vehicle handling. This requires precise modelling of the steering dynamics, a high bandwidth control loading system, and coupling of virtual and physical components in agreement with...journal article 2022

Siebinga, O. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)Human highway-merging behavior is an important aspect when developing autonomous vehicles (AVs) that can safely and successfully interact with other road users. To design safe and acceptable human-AV interactions, the underlying mechanisms in human-human interactive behavior need to be understood. Exposing and understanding these mechanisms can...conference paper 2022

Melman, T. (author), Weijerman, Mark (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)Introduction: Cars are increasingly computerized, and vehicle settings such as steering gain (SG) can now be altered during driving. However, it is unknown whether transitions in SG should be adaptable (i.e., triggered by driver input) or adaptive (i.e., triggered automatically). We examined this question for road segments expected to require...journal article 2022

Reddy, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Farah, H. (author)Future traffic will be composed of both human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and automated vehicles (AVs). To accurately predict the performance of mixed traffic, an important aspect is describing HDV behavior when interacting with AVs. A few exploratory studies show that HDVs change their behavior when interacting with AVs, being influenced by...journal article 2022

Lingam, Shiva Nischal (author)Driving involves communicative interactions where human drivers use communication signals to negotiate their right-of-way for road safety. The introduction of automated vehicles (AVs) in mixed-traffic environment, where human drivers will interact with AVs, will affect the nature of these communicative interactions. AVs and human-driven vehicles...master thesis 2021

Suresh Kumar, Sandeep (author)It is anticipated that for the automated driving industry to grow, public acceptance is required. The trust and acceptance of automated vehicles are primarily dependent on the travelling experience of people. In automated vehicles, passengers are expected to be engaged in non-driving tasks that are likely to decrease their predictability of the...master thesis 2021

Schotman, Marc (author)Driving often requires dividing attention between scanning the environment and following navigation instructions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of conformal and non-conformal navigation symbology on drivers' visual search. A driving simulator study was conducted where participants drove with conformal and non-conformal...master thesis 2021

van Leeuwen, Nico (author)This study proposes an LCA system that provides haptic guidance during lane changes. This system is fully integrated with LKA functionality to provide continuous lateral support during highway driving. Two different system configurations of this LCA are investigated. One is a generalized LCA that provides lane change reference trajectories based...master thesis 2021

Bongaardt, Laura (author)Robots that use legged locomotion have the ability to overcome obstacles and can negotiate a wide range of difficult terrains, such as encountered in outer-space missions. In many practical scenarios however, their applicability is still limited, mainly due to insufficient speed and efficiency. On the other hand, robots that use wheeled...master thesis 2021

Visser, Peter (author)Many modern vehicles are equipped with a sport mode, which intends to increase drivers' perceived sportiness of the vehicle, via e.g. power-train enhancement (PTE) or engine sound enhancement (ESE). However, to the best of authors' knowledge, no studies are available that investigated the individual or combined effects of PTE and ESE on...master thesis 2021

Driessen, T. (author), Picco, Angèle (author), Dodou, D. (author), de Waard, Dick (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Vehicles are increasingly equipped with sensors that capture the state of the driver, the vehicle, and the environment. These developments are relevant to formal driver testing, but little is known about the extent to which driving examiners would support the use of sensor data in their job. This semi-structured interview study examined the...journal article 2021

Schoenmakers, Mathijs (author), Yang, Dujuan (author), Farah, H. (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to improve traffic flow efficiency and safety. The deployment of AVs on motorways is expected to be the first step in their implementation. One of the main concerns is how human drivers will interact with AVs. Dedicating specific lanes to AVs have been suggested as a possible solution. However, there is...journal article 2021

(author)Surveys with stated choice experiments (SCE) are widely used to derive values of time and reliability for transport project appraisal purposes. However, such methods ask respondents to make hypothetical choices, which in turn could create a bias between choices made in the experiment compared to those in an environment where the choices have...journal article 2021
