To identify vulnerabilities in the broader Australian RPAS network, this study used AcciMap to analyse a set of adverse RPAS events investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. Investigation reports into RPAS incidents in Australia (<em>n</em> = 14) were identified and analysed in-depth with AcciMap; individual AcciMaps were constructed for each adverse event. The data was then aggregated to create a network of contributory factors across the RPAS network in Australia. The findings revealed 232 individual contributory factors across five of the six AcciMap levels. The contributory factors were then coded using a pre-existing classification scheme to identify 31 contributory factor themes. The highest proportion of contributory factors were at the lower operational and equipment levels of the system; these factors included <em>Equipment, technology and resources</em>; <em>Activity, work and operations</em>; and <em>Compliance with procedures, violations and unsafe acts</em>. According to systems theory and previous analyses using AcciMap, we would expect to find organisational, regulatory and government contributory factors, yet such factors were limited in this sample.

Thirty-one participants participated in this laboratory-based study they completed a digit matching task while driving within a driving simulator. The accuracy and response time of the task served as indicators for efficiency. The standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) was employed to assess area and shape's impacts on driving performance, alongside subjective ease-of-use evaluations. Results indicated that an increase in horizontal FOV angle significantly delay response times and reduce ease-of-use ratings. We also observed significant effects of area and shape on response time and ratings; specifically, participants responded faster in smaller display area conditions, which were also rated as the easiest to use. Accuracy, however, was largely unaffected by size and shape. Importantly, most manipulations did not interfere with driving performance, except for the area 500 condition, wherein landscape shape was associated with better lane-keeping performance.
