The real T(h)OR: evaluation of emergency take-over on a test track

Take-Over Requests are one of the most prominent topics in automated driving research and have recently been addressed by numerous publications. However, most results were solely obtained in simulated driving environments. Thus, it is important to investigate whether or not these results can be validated in user studies with real vehicles. We conducted an experiment on a test track, where a conditionally automated vehicle was simulated using a driving robot. Participants engaged in Non-Driving Related Tasks were interrupted by Take-Over Requests and had to avoid hitting a real obstacle. This video gives a first insight into our setting, which allows evaluation of imminent handover situations on a test track.
