In the human-centered research on automated driving, it is common practice to describe the vehicle behavior by means of terms and definitions related to non-automated driving. However, some of these definitions are not suitable for this purpose. This paper presents an ontology for automated vehicle behavior which takes into account a large number of existing definitions and previous studies. This ontology is characterized by an applicability for various levels of automated driving and a clear conceptual distinction between characteristics of vehicle occupants, the automation system, and the conventional characteristics of a vehicle. In this context, the terms ‘driveability’, ‘driving behavior’, ‘driving experience’, and especially ‘driving style’, which are commonly associated with non-automated driving, play an important role. In order to clarify the relationships between these terms, the ontology is integrated into a driver-vehicle system. Finally, the ontology developed here is used to derive recommendations for the future design of automated driving styles and in general for further human-centered research on automated driving.

Automatic driving of trains can significantly reduce the energy cost and enhance the operating efficiency and safety. The automatic train driving system has to be an embedded system that can run onboard with low power, which necessitates an efficient inference model. In this article, a level-wise driving knowledge induction approach is proposed for embedded automatic train driving systems. The coincident driving patterns in the records of drivers with different experience levels suggest the suitability of a driving experience knowledge rule induction approach. We design a two-level learning approach to obtain both the driving experience pattern in fuzzy rule-based knowledge form and the detailed parameters of velocity and gear by regression learning methods. With 8.93% energy consumption reduction compared with average human drivers, the experiments indicate the effectiveness of our approach.

This paper presents a review on relevant studies and reports related to older drivers’ behavior and stress. Questionnaires, simulators, and on-road/in-vehicle systems are used to collect driving data in most studies. In addition, research either directly compares older drivers and the other drivers or considers participants according to various age groups. Nevertheless, the definition of ‘older driver’ varies not only across studies but also across different government reports. Although questionnaire surveys are widely used to affordably obtain massive data in a short time, they lack objectivity. In contrast, biomedical information can increase the reliability of a driving stress assessment when collected in environments such as driving simulators and on-road experiments. Various studies determined that driving behavior and stress remain stable regardless of age, whereas others reported degradation of driving abilities and increased driving stress among older drivers. Instead of age, many researchers recommended considering other influencing factors, such as gender, living area, and driving experience. To mitigate bias in findings, this literature review suggests a hybrid method by applying surveys and collecting on-road/in-vehicle data.

Hazard perception (HP) is an important aspect of driving performance and is associated with crash risk. In the current study, we investigate the effect of roadway environment (city vs. highway) and expertise on HP. HP was measured using HP clips that evaluated response lag (defined as the time from the participant’s response to the end of the clip) and fuzzy signal detection theory metrics of response criterion and sensitivity. Forty videos were used: 20 from highway environments and 20 from city environments. Forty-eight participants with a range of driving experience as assessed by the years since obtaining a license (less than 1 year to 24 years) completed the study. There were differences between city and highway environments in response lag and response bias; participants responded earlier to the hazards in the highway environment and exhibited a more liberal response bias. Driving experience was significantly correlated to response lag. When the video clips were categorized by environment, driving experience was only significantly correlated with performance for the city environment.

Determining the root causes of various noise, vibration and harshness phenomena in modern automotive drivetrains is a critical task for industry, since noise, vibration and harshness issues often result in worsened driving experience. The aim of the current research is to investigate the dynamics during dry clutch engagement and the associated – often problematic – oscillations. This paper reports the development and partial validation of numerical models to study dry clutch behaviour. The models are used to investigate the influence of clutch and throttle actuation on the occurrence of unwanted clutch oscillations. The dynamic coefficient of friction between the clutch interacting surfaces was measured using a pin-on-disc rig under different slip speeds and contact pressure conditions, which are representative of a typical clutch engagement manoeuvre. The paper highlights the occurrence of instability issues in clutch dynamics (disc radial mode) as potential generators of aggressive noise, vibration and harshness, particularly during two different clutch pedal actuations. Such analysis has not hitherto been reported in the open literature.
