Abstract
Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are technologies that can enhance drivers' safety by relieving them from some driving related activities. However, police driving conditions and demands are different from those of civilian drivers. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of ADAS such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB), and blind spot monitoring (BSM) on police officers' driving performance, workload, and trust in vehicle safety to provide personalised solutions for police vehicles. A driving simulation study was conducted with 18 police officers. ADAS use was assessed under various driving conditions and while officers were engaged in non-driving related tasks. Findings suggested that the FCW and AEB systems improved officers' driving performance, while the BSM system had limited effectiveness due to low salience. ADAS were beneficial under normal driving conditions and when officers were using in-vehicle technology; however, they did not help officers in pursuit conditions.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
