Abstract

One goal of automated driving is to mitigate risks by minimising human intervention. However, widespread acceptance of automated vehicles hinges on their perceived ease of use, particularly during takeover scenarios. This online survey investigates the perceived difficulty of takeover in Level 3 Automated Vehicles, focusing on factors influencing takeover performance such as duration of automated mode and traffic density, as well as Non-Driving-Related Tasks like listening to music or engaging in conversation. Using Anderson's experimental protocol based on Integrated Information Theory, 235 drivers aged 18-72 rated takeover difficulty across 32 realistic scenarios varying in these factors. Results indicate significant impacts of all factors on takeover perception, identifying three distinct driver profiles: takeover averse, adaptive, and confident. Findings underscore implications for vehicle acceptance and risk management in automated driving.

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.
