Recent applications of the SAMMIE system

Human modelling systems such as SAMMIE can be powerful tools for the design team as they enable predictions to be made concerning problems with clearances, reaching, seeing or the combination of all these requirements that may force unnatural and damaging postures. The potential benefits arising from the use of such systems are discussed below, with reference to some recent projects completed by SAMMIE CAD Ltd

Functional options and design concepts

학위논문 (석사) -- 서울대학교 대학원 : 공학전문대학원 응용공학과, 2021. 2. 박우진.Many studies are being conducted on technologies directly related to the commercialization of automated driving vehicles and the enactment of related laws. Additional studies, however, are insufficient. In particular, automated driving vehicles do not need human driving, so unlike conventional vehicles, the drivers obtain the freedom to do other activities inside the vehicle. The aim of this paper is to collect previous research data and to predict and analyze various activities expected from the passengers of automated driving vehicles. Also, this paper investigates and analyzes the functions and arrangements of passenger plane and ship seats, as well as the current vehicle seats. Then, it proposes the functions and features of seats required by automated driving vehicles. In addition, it checks the validity of the predictions by comparing them with automated driving concept vehicles submitted to motor shows and CES by the global automakers, the Tier1, and 2 automotive suppliers. Patents for applications, registrations, and prospective registrations were investigated to identify trends in automated driving vehicle seat technology. It also draws out what is different from the current vehicle seats in automated driving vehicle seats. It was intended to suggest the direction to move forward in the research and development of seats for automated driving vehicles. And this paper not only proposed the function and features of seats of automated driving vehicles that have not yet been commercialized, but also considered possible problems during commercialization and suggested solutions to them. The upcoming automated driving vehicle regulation trends have been investigated to confirm the validity of this paper. Based on this, additional studies needed for commercialization of automated driving vehicles were considered.자율주행차의 상용화를 위해서 직접적으로 연관된 기술과 관련 법규 제정에 관한 연구는 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 그 외에 부수적인 연구들은 미흡한 실정이다. 특히 자율주행차는 인간이 직접 운전을 할 필요가 없기 때문에 기존의 차와는 다르게 실내에서 다양한 활동들을 할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 따라서 기존 연구자료들을 수집하여 자율주행차 에서 기대되는 승객들의 다양한 활동들에 대하여 예측하여 보고, 현재 차량용 시트만이 아니라 여객기와 여객선의 시트들의 기능과 배치를 조사하고 분석하여, 자율주행차에서 필요한 시트의 기능과 배치를 제안하고자 한다. 또한 현재까지 모터쇼와 CES에 출품된 자율주행차의 시트의 기능과 배치를 분석하여 논문에서 제안한 기능과 배치의 타당성을 확인하여 보았고, 현재까지 출원 및 등록된 자율주행차 시트 관련 특허 조사를 통하여 자율주행차의 시트에서 기존 차량의 시트와는 다르게 중점을 두고 있는 부분이 무엇인지를 확인해보고 앞으로 자율주행차의 시트 연구 및 개발에서 나아가야할 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 아직 상용화 되지 않은 자율주행차의 시트의 기능과 배치를 제안으로만 그치지않고 상용화 시에 발생할 수 있는 문제점에 대해서도 고민하고 그에 대한 해결방안을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 다가오는 자율주행차에 대응한 전세계의 차량 법규 트랜드를 조사하여 현재 차량 법규의 틀에서는 벗어난 본 연구의 자율주행차의 실내환경 및 시트를 연구의 타당성을 확인하였으며, 이 타당성을 근거로 자율주행차 상용화를 위하여 향후 필요한 추가 연구들에 대하여 고민하여 보았다.Abstract i Contents iii List of Tables v List of Fugures vii 1.

The psychology of driving automation: A discussion with Professor Don Norman

Introducing automation into automobiles had inevitable consequences for the driver and driving. Systems that automate longitudinal and lateral vehicle control may reduce the workload of the driver. This raises questions of what the driver is able to do with this 'spare' attentional capacity. Research in our laboratory suggests that there is unlikely to be any spare capacity because the attentional resources are not 'fixed'. Rather, the resources are inextricably linked to task demand. This paper presents some of the arguments for considering the psychological aspects of the driver when designing automation into automobiles. The arguments are presented in a conversation format, based on discussions with Professor Don Norman. Extracts from relevant papers to support the arguments are presented

A Survey of Driving Research Simulators Around the World.

The literature review is part of the EPSRC funded project "Driver performance in the EPSRC driving simulator: a validation study". The aim of the project is to validate this simulator, located at the Department of Psychology, University of Leeds, and thereby to indicate the strengths and weaknesses of the existing configuration. It will provide guidance on how the simulator can be modified and overcome any deficiencies that are detected and also provide "benchmarks" against which other simulators can be compared. The literature review will describe the technical characteristics of the most well-known driving simulators around the world, their special features and their application areas until today. The simulators will be described and compared according to their cost (low, medium and high) and also contact addresses and photographs of the simulators will be provided by the end of the paper. In the process of gathering this information, it became apparent that there are mainly two types of papers published - either in journals or in proceedings from conferences: those describing only the technical characteristics of a specific simulator and those referring only to the applications of a specific simulator. For the first type of papers, the level of detail, format and content varies significantly where for the second one it has been proven extremely difficult to find any information about the technical characteristics of the simulator where the study had been carried out. A number of details provided in this paper are part of personal communication, or personal visits to those particular driving simulator centres or from the World Wide Web. It should also be noted here that most of the researchers contacted here offered very detail technical characteristics and application areas of their driving simulators and the author is grateful to them

Non-visual Effects of Road Lighting CCT on Driver's Mood, Alertness, Fatigue and Reaction Time: A Comprehensive Neuroergonomic Evaluation Study

Good nighttime road lighting is critical for driving safety. To improve the quality of nighttime road lighting, this study used the triangulation method by fusing "EEG evaluation + subjective evaluation + behavioral evaluation" to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the response characteristics of different correlated color temperature (CCT) (3500K, 4500K, 5500K, 6500K) on drivers' non-visual indicators (mood, alertness, fatigue and reaction time) under specific driving conditions (monotonous driving; waiting for red light and traffic jam; car-following task). The results showed that the CCT and Task interaction effect is mainly related to individual alertness and reaction time. Individual subjective emotional experience, subjective visual comfort and psychological security are more responsive to changes in CCT than individual mental fatigue and visual fatigue. The subjective and objective evaluation results demonstrated that the EEG evaluation indices used in this study could objectively reflect the response characteristics of various non-visual indicators. The findings also revealed that moderate CCT (4500K) appears to be the most beneficial to drivers in maintaining an ideal state of mind and body during nighttime driving, which is manifested as: good mood experience; it helps drivers maintain a relatively stable level of alterness and to respond quickly to external stimuli; both mental and visual fatigue were relatively low. This study extends nighttime road lighting design research from the perspective of non-visual effects by using comprehensive neuroergonomic evaluation methods, and it provides a theoretical and empirical basis for the future development of a humanized urban road lighting design evaluation system.Comment: 38 pages, 15 figures, 103 conference

Ergonomics of intelligent vehicle braking systems

The present thesis examines the quantitative characteristics of driver braking and pedal operation and discusses the implications for the design of braking support systems for vehicles. After the current status of the relevant research is presented through a literature review, three different methods are employed to examine driver braking microscopically, supplemented by a fourth method challenging the potential to apply the results in an adaptive brake assist system. First, thirty drivers drove an instrumented vehicle for a day each. Pedal inputs were constantly monitored through force, position sensors and a video camera. Results suggested a range of normal braking inputs in terms of brake-pedal force, initial brake-pedal displacement and throttle-release (throttle-off) rate. The inter-personal and intra-personal variability on the main variables was also prominent. [Continues.
