SA2VE: Situational Awareness (SA) and trust during Shift between Autonomy levels in automated Vehicles

This project aims to understand the effect of situational awareness (SA) and take-over request procedures on trust between drivers and highly AVs, we:

– implement driving scenarios based on our analysis of real-world incidents involving highly automated vehicles reported between 2014 and 2021.

– collect & analyse the aforementioned quantitative and qualitative data in these implemented driving scenarios during crucial take-over tasks.

– understand the correlation between objective SA measures & subjective and objective trust.

– identify the role of feedback (type) & guidance of the driving assistive technology in increasing SA & trust.
