How Ready Are We for a Driverless Ride? 😲 Our Online Robo‑Taxi Perception Survey Calling for Participants! 🚕 pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ef… #AutomatedVehicles #Robotaxi

🚗 Just published in Transportation Research Part C! We present a validated cognitive model of driver gaze and takeover behavior during multi-modal, multi-stage takeover requests in L3 AVs. 🔍 Captures trust & SA sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #CognitiveModeling #AutomatedVehicles

Exciting news! Our new review paper on Driver Situation Awareness in Conditionally Automated Vehicles is now published in Human Factors journal! 🚗✨ Check it out here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… #HumanFactors #DriverSA #VehicleSafety #AutomatedVehicles @hfes_sttg @pennstateime

We wish her the very best as she embarks on her journey as an assistant professor at Sichuan University – Pittsburgh Institute this August!

🎉 Xiaomei Tan's paper, "Analyzing Driver Strategy for Scheduled Takeovers Under the Effect of Multi-stage Takeover Request Design," has earned her a spot on the final list for the STTG Best Student Paper Awards. #IAMHFES23 @hfes_sttg

🌟 Kudos to our new students, Ruby Kim and Book Chen, for their impressive presentations! They illuminated our latest multi-stage design research, enhancing driver situation awareness and driver-AV interaction in mixed traffic. 🚗🧠 #IAMHFES23 @hfes_sttg @HFES #ResearchHighlight

Book Chen will present our work on 'Driving in Mixed Traffic: Will Increased Penetration Rates of Automated Vehicles Change Driver Behaviors?' during the poster session at the HFES conference on Wednesday at 6:15 PM. @HFES @hfes_sttg @HFESPSU

Ruby Kim will present our work on 'Analyzing Driver Strategy for Scheduled Takeovers Under the Influence of Multi-Stage Takeover Request Design' at the HFES conference tomorrow at 9:15 AM in Room Lincoln West. @hfes_sttg @HFES @HFESPSU @pennstateime

Congratulations to Xiaomei Tan and Shantanu Gupta for winning the Best Student Paper Awards and Best Student Paper Awards Honorable Mention from the Human Performance Modeling Technical Group at @HFES #HPMTG #HFES2022

Exciting Day 4 at #HFES2022. Our students presented their research on automated driving styles, SA, and driver-AV interaction performance modeling. @HFES @HFESPSU @pennstateime

Deeply honored to receive the "Stephanie Binder Young Professional Award" from HFES Surface Transportation Technical Group @hfes_sttg @HFES #HFES2022

Shantanu Gupta from the @HTILabPSU will be presenting his work on 'Modeling driver takeover intentions in automated vehicles with an attention-based CNN algorithm' at 3:30PM on Thursday, October 13th in Room A706.

Xiaomei Tan from the @HTILabPSU will be presenting her work on 'Modeling the Effect of Takeover Request Lead Time on Driver Reaction Time for Freeway Exiting in Conditionally Automated Vehicles' at 3:30PM on Thursday, October 13th in Room A706.

Zheng Ma from the @HTILabPSU will be presenting his work on 'Investigating the Effects of Automated Driving Style and Drivers’ Driving Style on Drivers’ Perception of Automated Vehicle Driving Indicators' at 1:30PM on Thursday, October 13th in Room L402/L403.

We built a computational driver model with QN-MHP to predict the effects of key warning parameters on driver decision-making and performance in connected vehicles ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

Check out our new paper on driver situation awareness in connected vehicles. We found that degraded driver SA after experiencing CVs may be due to their reliance on the warnings. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
