Driver Acceptance of New Technology
This edited volume brings together the accumulating body of work on driver and operator acceptance of new technology. It covers the theory behind acceptance, how it can be measured and how it can be improved. Case studies are presented that provide data on driver acceptance for new and emerging vehicle technology.

Driver acceptance of new technology : theory, measurement and optimisation
\"Acceptance of new technology and systems by drivers is an important area of concern to governments, automotive manufacturers and equipment suppliers, especially technology that has significant potential to enhance safety. To be acceptable, new technology must be useful and satisfying to use. If not, drivers will not want to have it, in which case it will never achieve the intended safety benefit. Even if they have the technology, drivers may not use it if it is deemed unacceptable, or may not use it in the manner intended by the designer. At worst, they may seek to disable it\"-Provided by publisher.

Handbook of Human Factors for Automated, Connected, and Intelligent Vehicles
Automobile crashes are the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in over 1.25 million deaths yearly. Automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles have the potential to reduce crashes significantly, while also reducing congestion, carbon emissions, and increasing accessibility. However, the transition could take decades. This new handbook serves a diverse community of stakeholders, including human factors researchers, transportation engineers, regulatory agencies, automobile manufacturers, fleet operators, driving instructors, vulnerable road users, and special populations. The handbook provides information about the human driver, other road users, and human–automation interaction in a single, integrated compendium in order to ensure that automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles reach their full potential.
Features
Addresses four major transportation challenges—crashes, congestion, carbon emissions, and accessibility—from a human factors perspective
Discusses the role of the human operator relevant to the design, regulation, and evaluation of automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles
Offers a broad treatment of the critical issues and technological advances for the designing of transportation systems with the driver in mind
Presents an understanding of the human factors issues that are central to the public acceptance of these automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles
Leverages lessons from other domains in understanding human interactions with automation
Sets the stage for future research by defining the space of unexplored questions

Driver Distraction and Inattention
It is estimated that, in the United States, around 20 percent of all Police-reported road crashes involve driver distraction as a contributing factor. This figure increases if other forms of inattention are considered. Evidence (reviewed in this volume) suggests that the situation is similar in other countries and that driver distraction and inattention are even more dangerous as contributing factors in crashes than drug and alcohol intoxication. Having a solid evidence-base from which to develop injury countermeasures is a cornerstone of road-safety management. This book adds to the accumulating evidence-base on driver distraction and inattention. With 24 chapters by 52 authors from more than 10 countries, it provides important new perspectives on the definition and meaning of driver distraction and inattention, the mechanisms that characterize them, the measurement of their effects, strategies for mitigating their effects, and recommendations for further research. The goal of this book is to inspire further research and countermeasure development to prevent and mitigate the potentially adverse effects of driver distraction and driver inattention, and, in doing so, to save lives.

Daily use of an electric vehicle: behavioural changes and potential for ITS support
In order to reduce CO2 emissions, the electric vehicle (EV) represents today an alternative to traditionally fuelled vehicles. However, this new eco-friendly mode of transport involves different kinds of constraints to use that are likely to affect mobility. To assess driver acceptability of EVs and to study the impact of electric technology on the mobility behaviours of drivers, the MINI E France project was undertaken by IFSTTAR and carried out in cooperation with the vehicle manufacturer Bavarian Motor Works Germany. Fifty ‘private users’ from Paris drove for 6 months an electric MINI E. This paper presents and describes the mobility, charging and driving behaviours reported by EV users. In particular, the paper focuses on how users organise themselves to deal with the limited range of the EV, what changes are induced in their mobility and what are their requirements in terms of intelligent transport system functions relevant for e-mobility.

Acceptability to young drivers of in-vehicle intelligent transport systems
A number of in-vehicle intelligent transport system (ITS) technologies with the potential to significantly reduce the incidence and severity of young novice driver crashes are currently available or exist in advanced prototype form. These systems will have little impact on young driver safety, however, unless they are deemed acceptable by young drivers. This study assessed the acceptability of several in-vehicle ITS technologies to a sample of Australian young novice drivers. Eight focus groups were conducted: four in metropolitan (Sydney) and four in rural (Wagga Wagga) New South Wales. The groups involved 58 drivers aged 17-25 years who, from examination of crash data, were likely to derive the greatest safety benefit from the selected technologies. Results revealed that the Alcohol Interlock and Seat Belt Reminder systems were the most acceptable to young drivers, while the Fatigue Warning (for rural participants only), Intelligent Speed Adaptation and Lane Departure Warning had the lowest levels of perceived acceptability. The attitudes of metropolitan and rural participants towards the systems were generally very similar; however, a number of differences in the acceptability of several technologies were observed. Suggestions for enhancing the acceptability of ITS technologies to young novice drivers are offered, along with recommendations for further research.

Evaluation of a Novice Driver CD-Rom Based Training Program: A Simulator Study
The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) in Melbourne, Australia, recently completed research which culminated in the development of a CD ROM-based perceptual and cognitive skills training product for young novice car drivers. This paper describes the design of an experiment, using an advanced driving simulator located at MUARC, to evaluate the instructional effectiveness of the product.

Driver Distraction: Review of the Literature and Suggestions for Countermeasure Development
There is converging evidence that certain activities, objects and events inside and
outside the motor vehicle can, and do, distract drivers, leading to degraded driving
performance, increased crash risk and crashes. Findings from a recent US study
suggest that up to 80 per cent of road crashes are due to driver inattention, of which
distraction is a major factor. This chapter discusses what is known about driver
distraction, what it being done to manage it in Australia, and what should be done to
limit its detrimental impact on driver performance and safety.
