With current advancements in the transportation system, particularly the increasing penetration of various levels of automation, the need to communicate intentions has become even more demanding and complex. Thus, it is critical to investigate the limitations and consequences of the existing communication channels and examine the need for improved communication. This study focused on two representative event types: lane change/merge and stop sign-controlled intersection in the SHRP 2 NDS dataset. Communication was deemed essential to the successful navigation of these maneuvers. Through exploratory analysis of driving behavior, insights were gained into the prevalence of lack of communication (LOC) among target events. Identified LOC events were further classified based on the scenario type. Moreover, descriptive observations of the interaction between drivers in these situations were developed and categorized.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

During the automation-to-human transition process, hazard avoidance plays an important role after human drivers regain the vehicle control. This study applies the multilevel Hidden Markov Model to understand the hazard avoidance processes in response to static road hazards as continuous processes. The three-state model—Approaching, Negotiating, and Recovering—had the best model fitness, compared to the four-state and five-state models. The trained model reaches an average of 66% accuracy rate on predicting hazard avoidance states on the testing data. The prediction performance reveals the possibility to use the hazard avoidance pattern to recognize driving behaviors. We further propose several improvements at the end to generalize our models into other scenarios, including the potential to model hazard avoidance as a basic driving skill across different levels of automation conditions.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Appropriate design of AV explanations could promote drivers’ acceptance, trust, and SA, enabling drivers to get more benefits from the technology. This study investigated the effects of error type and information type of AV explanations on drivers’ trust and SA. We recruited 300 participants for an online video study with a 3 (information type) × 2 (error type) mixed design. Linear mixed model analyses showed that compared with false alarms, misses were associated with more trust decrease after the error and more trust decrease after the post-error recovery. Compared with why information, how information was associated with lower SA generally and risked potential over-trust in false alarms. Therefore, we recommend deploying AV decision systems that are less miss-prone and including why information in AV explanations.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

HARVIE assists astronauts with elevated demands of the lunar surface through navigation, terrain sensing, and an optimal display of suit status elements (e.g., oxygen, battery, and heart rate). Considering environmental constraints, the system architecture promotes efficient cross modal communication between the mission control center, other astronauts, and the user interface. Currently, the system utilizes a hands-free modality such as speech recognition. Throughout the design process, we conducted heuristic evaluations on a low-fidelity prototype. Then, we implemented HARVIE into a high-fidelity prototype on the HoloLens 2 and utilized the Rapid Iterative Testing & Evaluation (RITE) method for human-in-the-loop testing. Lastly, we evaluated our final design at NASA Johnson Space Center. Our interface serves as a novel approach to enhance how astronauts navigate on missions using augmented reality.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Our mixed-effect model revealed that several physiological responses, including electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and average pupil diameter, can be used as indicators of perceived stress levels. Our findings suggest the potential of using physiological sensors to monitor individuals’ perceived stress in real-world scenarios and thus facilitate workplace stress management and intervention.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Prior research has used individual differences—trust propensity and complacency—to explain this divergence. We argue that bifurcation as an outcome of a dynamic system better explains trust divergence. Linear mixed-effect models were used to identify features to predict trust (i.e., individual differences, automation reliability, and exposure). Individual differences associated with trust propensity and complacency increases the R 2 of the baseline model by 0.01, from R 2 = 0.40 to 0.41. Furthermore, the Best Linear Unbiased Predictors (BLUPS) for random effect of participants were uncorrelated with trust propensity and complacency. In contrast, modeling trust divergence from a dynamic perspective, which considers the interaction between reliability and exposure along with the individual by-reliability variability fit the data well ( R 2 = 0.84). These results suggest dynamic interaction with automation produce trust divergence and design should focus on state dependence and responsivity.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

The purpose of this paper was to outline a proposed framework for automating the analysis of dynamic areas of interest by integrating computer vision and machine learning (CVML). The framework is then tested using a use-case of a Central Venous Catheterization trainer with six dynamic AOIs. While the results of the validity trial indicate there is room for improvement in the CVML method proposed, the framework provides direction and guidance for human factors researchers using dynamic AOIs.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...

Additionally, ratings on usability were higher for planning a trip compared to creating an experiment, but no differences were found depending on prior use. Future research should examine attitudes and usability when participants interact with the AI chatbot directly in different scenarios.

However, using partially automated driving systems in urban environments is still challenging. The potential disuse of driving automation is one of the challenges that prevents users from taking full advantage of the system. To address this issue, we investigated whether sharing the vehicle’s situation awareness (SA) information could increase the proper use of driving automation in urban contexts. An Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR HUD) was developed to present the vehicle’s SA information, and its effect was tested using a driving simulator. We used a two-part mixed model to analyze driver reliance behavior. The results showed that sharing the vehicle’s SA information decreased override responses when the automation could handle the situation but had no significant effect on the override time. These findings suggest that providing drivers with the vehicle SA information can increase the appropriate use of driving automation in complex urban driving situations.","PeriodicalId":74544,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society ...
