It then describes how blind spot detection systems use sensors like cameras and radar to monitor the sides and rear of vehicles for approaching objects, alerting the driver with lights or sounds if an object is detected when changing lanes. The technology aims to help drivers avoid accidents by warning them about vehicles in their blind spots.
Wireless charging using electromagnetic induction, and resonance magnetic coupling. Effects and limitations, cheallenges faced and meathods to overcome. Success Case study. References included.
Advanced driver assistance systems are designed to increase car safety and road safety overall. They help the driver in the driving process to enable safe and relaxed driving. Some examples of driver assistance systems that maximize safety include antilock braking systems, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, driver drowsiness detection, electronic stability control, emergency braking systems, hill descent control, intelligent speed assistance, lane departure warning systems, pedestrian detection, rear cross traffic alert, and traffic sign recognition. These systems alert drivers to hazards, help maintain safe distances and speeds, and in some cases automatically apply brakes to avoid collisions.
This document discusses decision making and different models of decision making. It describes programmed versus nonprogrammed decisions, certainty versus uncertainty, and three common models of decision making: the classical, administrative, and political models. The classical model assumes rationality and complete information, while the administrative and political models are more descriptive of real-world constraints. Managers may also have different personal decision-making styles such as directive, analytical, conceptual, or behavioral.

Drivers pursue multiple, sometimes competing goals when driving including functional goals like safety, efficiency, and comfort as well as symbolic goals like signaling personality traits.
Two studies were conducted to better understand drivers' goals. Qualitative interviews identified a range of functional and symbolic driving goals. A choice experiment then measured the relative importance of goals in different driving scenarios.
Goals like safety, avoiding penalties, and cost efficiency were consistently most important. However, the relative importance of goals varied by context. Conflicting goals like fun, speed, and confidence accounted for over 25% of drivers' priorities.
This research suggests a new theory that driving results from the simultaneous pursuit and interaction of multiple goals through self-regulatory

Managerial decision making involves cutting off undesirable alternatives to select the best option. It is a complex process that requires analyzing problems, developing alternative solutions, and selecting and implementing a desired alternative. There are different models of decision making, including the classical, administrative, and political models, that take different approaches depending on factors like the level of certainty, risk, and organizational goals. Effective decision making follows a process of defining the problem, gathering information, developing and analyzing alternatives, selecting the best option, and evaluating outcomes.
This document discusses different models and approaches to decision making. It describes programmed versus non-programmed decisions, and how decision making involves varying degrees of certainty and risk. The ideal rational model is contrasted with how managers actually make decisions in practice, taking into account human limitations and satisficing. Different decision making steps and styles are outlined. The political model is presented as resembling real-world environments where diverse interests must be balanced. Factors that can lead to bad decisions are also listed.

control
People underestimate the likelihood of bad
outcomes and overestimate the likelihood of
good outcomes for themselves compared to
others.
This tendency is strengthened for outcomes
perceived as controllable by the person.
Examples:
- Newlyweds expect their marriage to last a lifetime, even while
aware of the divorce statistics.
- Smokers believe they are less at risk of developing smoking-related
diseases than others who smoke.
- Car drivers estimate their chances of an accident when driving
under the influence of alcohol as lower than for drunken driving in
general.
6. Risk perception in driving (Fuller, 2005)
Gudela Grote

Felt risk mirrors task difficulty.
Task difficulty is determined by task demands
and individual capability.
Estimated statistical risk and felt risk regarding
speed only coincide at higher speeds where
task demands approach individual capability
(= task difficulty is very high).
7. Risk as benefit: Risk seeking behavior
Gudela Grote
Page7
Risk seeking versus risk avoidance
- Personality characteristic
- Cultural norm
- Affected by situational characteristics
• gain versus loss
• personal control
8. Different types of driver errors
Gudela Grote
Page8
(Reason et al., 1990)
Lapse
- e.g. attempt to drive away from traffic light in third
gear
Mistake
- e.g. underestimate the speed of oncoming vehicle
when overtaking
Violation
- Unintended: e.g. unknowingly speeding
- Deliberate: e.g. get involved in races with other
drivers
9. Measures to avoid driver errors
Gudela Grote

Lapse Support vigilance
Mistake Increase training and
experience
Violation
- Unintended Support vigilance
- Deliberate Change individual and collective
behavior norms

11. Leadership to support safe driving
Gudela Grote
Page11
(Newman, Griffin & Mason, 2008)
High safety motivation of drivers is related to few self-
reported crashes.
Drivers' safety motivation is related to their perception
of managers' safety values.
Managers' perception of organizational safety values
are related to drivers' perception of managers' safety
values.
Leadership at all levels of the organization influences
drivers' safety motivation and behavior.
Safety interventions should address the organizational,
work group, and individual level. (Newman & Watson, 2011)
12. General safety management
Gudela Grote
Page12
Safety Policy
Risk identification and mitigation
Safety resources and responsibilities
Standards and procedures
Training
Safety performance monitoring
Continuous improvement
Management of change
13. Example Standards and Procedures: Gudela Grote
Page13
Rules at Shell
Four out of twelve are driving related!
One basic rule about rules: Use fixed prescription
only when it really holds in all situations
14. Specific safety management measures Gudela Grote
Page14
for safe driving
Selection
- avoid hiring young men
- test for risk perception and risk seeking/avoidance
Handling fatigue
- establish a not fit to drive rule
- structure driving schedules to allow for sufficient breaks and
rest time
- take into account commuting time when designing work
schedules more generally
- train drivers to handle monotony while driving
Policy for mobile phone use
- generally avoid phone use
- if unavoidable only use when vehicle is stopped
- if unavoidable during driving ensure proper technical systems
and training
15. Shared norms and values
Gudela Grote
Page15
Establishing shared norms and values that
support safe work processes and behaviors as
defined in the safety management system
Establish a safety culture
Safety culture as part of organizational culture
= shared basic beliefs and assumptions
- safety versus production
- trust versus control
- role of people and technology
Culture often most visible as a source of
resistance to change
16. Supporting organizational and cultural Gudela Grote
Page16
change
Causes of resistance to change
- Sense of loss of control
- Sticking to old norms as part of existing culture
Strategies for dealing with resistance
- Coercive: sanction change through use of power
- Rational: inform about advantages of change
- Normative: develop new values and norms =
culture change
Requirements for normative strategy
- Participation to improve quality and acceptance
of decisions
- Psychological safety
17. An easy start into cultural change ...
Gudela Grote

Having people answer questions like the
following reduces self-reported risky driving
several weeks later (Falk, 2010)
- Take over when the car in front slows down in
adherence to speed limit
- Drive too close to car in front to get driver to move out
of the way
- Drive fast to show others I can handle the car
- It is OK to speed when traffic conditions allow
- If you have good driving skills speeding is OK
- Sometimes it is necessary to bend the rules to keep
traffic going
- I often think about the possibility that I myself might get
hurt in traffic.
- I could not live with myself if I hurt another human
being in traffic.
