Using Cognitive Work Analysis to Inform Agent-Based Modelling of Automated Driving

Abstract

Cognitive work analysis is a systems analysis framework from the field of human factors. The framework provides information about the constraints of agent behaviour that can potentially be useful for the development of agent-based models. This chapter discusses a current programme of research which aims to integrate cognitive work analysis with agent-based modelling to identify and manage emergent risks to safety associated with the introduction of automated vehicles into the road transport system. A proposed approach to the integration of the methods is described.
