Human Factors Focus:
User and non-user acceptance of Automated Road
Transport Systems
Users & Non-users
Pedestrians Cyclists
Research Questions
How do pedestrians and cyclists perceive ARTS in terms of safety and priority?
What information do non-users want from ARTS?
How do they want that information communicated to them?
What factors influence acceptance of ARTS?

research
ques7ons:
How
should
human-­‐machine-­‐interfaces
(HMI)
be
designed
to
support
transi7ons
between
automated
and
manual
control?
How
can
the
automa7on
understand
the
driver’s
state
and
inten7ons?
What
are
the
effects
of
HAD
on
accident
risk
and
transport
efficiency?
