Objectives:
The main aim of the project will to generate knowledge about drivers’ situation awareness and behaviour in a driving environment in which driving tasks are progressively removed and automated using Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The transformation of the driver’s role into one of supervisory control over the various systems in the vehicle rather than actual operation of the vehicle has considerable human factors and safety implications.
