In this study, we investigated the feasibility of assessing driver and passenger thermal perception based on EEG signals under outdoor driving conditions and analyzed the effects of driving behavior on human thermal perception and EEG. The results show that the differences in EEG of passengers in different thermal sensation states are larger than those of drivers, and the high-frequency β and γ relative power can be used to distinguish human thermal comfort. EEG channels in the frontal, parieto-occipital and left temporal lobe regions are sensitive to thermal perception. The physiological characteristics of drivers and passengers and their patterns of change in different thermal perception states differed significantly, while subjective thermal perception did not differ significantly, so the thermal comfort evaluation criteria for drivers and passengers should be considered separately. Future research will explore the effects of driving behavior on human thermal perception and EEG when the automobile passenger compartment is warming up in winter, and then predict human thermal perception in vehicle throughout the year.

Laboratory studies have shown that vehicle dynamics are particularly crucial for the experience and behavior of VRUs when interacting with both AVs and manually-driven vehicles (MVs). However, since AVs are still rare in urban traffic, field study results are also scarce. The present study employs the Wizard-of-Oz (WoOz) method, where a safety driver is hidden inside the vehicle, making it appear driverless from the outside. This vehicle then interacted with naïve VRUs at a signal-controlled intersection in Munich. Unlike in comparable studies, the complex traffic scenario involved crossing in front of turning vehicles. The study analyzed the extent to which the behavior (recorded via video) and experience (post-crossing survey) of the VRUs differed depending on whether the vehicle was seemingly automated or an MV. Additionally, known influencing factors, such as age, gender, and vehicle dynamics, were included in the analysis to determine whether potential effects remained significant. The results indicate that the automation status of the vehicle influenced behavior (crossing time, head movements towards the vehicle, post-crossing reactions). Furthermore, vehicle dynamics were particularly decisive for behavior and also seemed to influence perceived safety. This underscores the importance of considering vehicle dynamics in the development and implementation of AVs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"111 ","pages":"Pages 75-94"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143511150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicate that through driving simulation and driver questionnaires, the experimental variables of vehicle type and queue length significantly affect lateral offset, vehicle operating speed, and maximum deceleration.
