Li, Xiaomeng (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author), Afghari, A.P. (author), Kaye, Sherrie Anne (author), Yan, Xuedong (author)Automated vehicles have started to be integrated into the road transportation system and operate in a mixed traffic environment. To ensure a smooth and successful integration, it is vital to have a good understanding of the human factor challenges involved in the process, especially the issues related to other road users who will share roads...journal article 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

Vermin, B. L. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Schulte, F. (author)Increasing online retail has resulted in increased automation in order picking systems, leading to new challenges and opportunities in task scheduling. The job-shop scheduling problem is an optimization problem essential in such systems, but existing JSP literature often overlooks workplace fatigue, which harms employees’ well-being and costs U...journal article 2023

Thirani, Kushal (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Peternel, L. (author)This paper studies non-physical feedback mechanisms to guide human workers toward ergonomic body postures. Specifically, the focus is to solve the tasks that involve no direct physical interaction between the human and the robotic system, therefore tactile guidance by the robot body is not feasible. We propose a multi-modal ergonomic posture...conference paper 2023

Sheykhfard, Abbas (author), Haghighi, Farshidreza (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), Das, Subasish (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Although signal countdown timers (SCTs) are likely to enhance efficiency at signalized intersections, there is little research on how they affect road users’ behavior. The present study explores factors associated with driver behavior through two approaches to examine how SCTs influence drivers’ actions toward pedestrians violating red lights....journal article 2023

When terminology hinders research: the colloquialisms of transitions of control in automated drivingMaggi, Davide (author), Romano, Richard (author), Carsten, Oliver (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)During the last 20 years, technological advancement and economic interests have motivated research on automated driving and its impact on drivers’ behaviour, especially after transitions of control. Indeed, once the Automated Driving System (ADS) reaches its operational limits, it is forced to request human intervention. However, the fast...journal article 2022

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Petermeijer, S.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author)A major question in human-automation interaction is whether tasks should be traded or shared between human and automation. This work presents reflections—which have evolved through classroom debates between the authors over the past 10 years—on these two forms of human-automation interaction, with a focus on the automated driving domain. As...journal article 2022

Adar, M.E. (author), de Bruin, R. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)Whether it is from the office-office or the home office, creating a physical work environment is essential for both improving work performance as well as for the physical and mental wellbeing of employees. But as jobs are becoming increasingly less active, and working adults are spending almost a third of their lives in the office, most of their...conference paper 2022

Al-Qubatee, Wahib (author), Al Hasan, F. (author), Ritzema, Henk (author), Nasher, Ghunaim (author), Hellegers, Petra (author)Groundwater depletion is a problem in many parts the world. We developed an approach to investigate the drivers of groundwater depletion in data-scarce regions. The approach combines natural and human-induced drivers, with the latter focusing on the link between human activities and government policies. We tested the approach in Wadi Zabid,...journal article 2022

Keusters, A.C.A.M. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), Houwing, E.J. (author)Purpose: Civil engineering projects around the world have been underperforming for a long time. While the complexity of these projects will continue to increase, there is an urgent need to perform better. Although the integrated design process is critical for project success, the literature lacks studies describing the link to project...journal article 2022

Quy Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy (author), An Ngoc Nguyen, Nguyen (author), Nguyen Hoang Minh, M. (author), Ngoc Thi Nguyen, Ly (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)On-demand food delivery involves transport services based on gig-economy models. Food delivery services rely on motorcycles in many jurisdictions, resulting in safety risks. Motorcycles are generally-two-wheeled and therefore inherently unstable. They also lack rider restraint or roll cage to minimise the consequences of a collision. Given the...journal article 2022

Burggraaf, J.M. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author), Sillem, S. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)When a train passes a red aspect, this is called a Signal Passed at Danger event or SPAD. Sometimes it is easy to identify the SPAD cause but in other cases it is unclear why the incident occurred, especially if the system operated as usual and the train driver was trained and experienced just like his or her colleagues. In previous research,...journal article 2022

(author), Treiber, Martin (author)Pedestrians are among the travelers most vulnerable to collisions that are associated with high fatality and injury rates. The increasing rate of urbanization and mixed land-use construction make walking (along with other non-motorized travel) a predominant transportation mode with a wide variety of behaviors expected. Because of the inherent...journal article 2022

Tinga, Angelica M. (author), Cleij, Diane (author), Jansen, Reinier J. (author), van der Kint, Sander (author), van Nes, C.N. (author)In the transition towards higher levels of vehicle automation, one of the key concerns with regards to human factors is to avoid mode confusion, when drivers misinterpret the driving mode and therewith misjudge their own tasks and responsibility. To enhance mode awareness, a clear human centered Human Machine Interface (HMI) is essential. The...journal article 2022

Melles, M. (author), Albayrak, A. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author)Human-centered design is about understanding human needs and how design can respond to these needs. With its systemic humane approach and creativity, human-centered design can play an essential role in dealing with today's care challenges. 'Design' refers to both the process of designing and the outcome of that process, which includes...journal article 2021

There is different level of maturity with automation in different transport modes (road, aviation, maritime and rail), however no systematic research has...journal article 2020
