TY - Type of reference TI - Effects of vehicle automation in normal and critical driving situations: from empirical studies on a driving simulator to cognitive modelling. AU - Matthew Sassman AU - Jonathan Deniel AU - Thierry Bellet AU - Bernard Claverie AB - With the migration of responsibility from drivers to automation systems in vehicles, there are potential risks to be studied due to “out-of-the loop” issue induced by the automated driving. To investigate these potential risks, two complementary experiments were implemented on a driving simulator. The 1st experiment investigates vehicle automation in highway traffic jam conditions. Main findings indicate that increased automation of Level 4 (compared to L3) was assessed as more useful by the participants, reducing the task difficulty and annoyance. The 2nd experiment focused on critical driving conditions and automation’s effect on participants’ Situational Awareness (SA), their criticality assessment, their ability to resume manual control when necessary, or their confidence in an automated system managing the risk for them. Main findings of this 2nd experiment found several effects of vehicle automation on drivers’ SA and risk assessment, or on their visual scanning behaviours, however this was dependent of the participant’s level of driving experience. Finally, eye tracking data collected during the second experiment were used in a cognitive model (named COSMODRIVE) to simulate some effects of vehicle automation of drivers’ visual scanning. This modeling work is presented in the last section of the article.
