Three driver and operator behaviour models in the context of automated driving – identification of issues from human actor perspective

Abstract

The study aimed to systematically define human issues related to automated driving. Three theoretical approaches were applied into two automation scenarios, low and high, in urban and motorway driving. The analysis encompasses five use cases in both environments, and several contextual circumstances. The list of approximately 13 human issues was provided. All theoretical approaches showed to be useful in defining the issues, and the views complemented each other. The core task analysis, not previously showed to be promising model for analyzing automated driving, and should be further developed. The other approaches applied were the traditional driver behavior theories called as motivational theories and the model for human actor operator as information processor.
