How do drivers merge heavy goods vehicles onto freeways?
A semi-structured interview unveiling needs for communication and support
Freeway merging of heavy goods vehicles (HGV) is a safety–critical manoeuvre. However, at present, it is largely unknown how HGV drivers perceive and execute the merging manoeuvre, and how current advanced driver support and automation systems (ADAS) contribute. We performed semi
