This project will produce a report in which each chapter contains a comprehensive systematic literature review that summarizes, evaluates, and synthesizes research published since 1975 on topics related to maintaining operator engagement in automated systems; primarily transportation systems. The primary objective of this project is to understand the current state of knowledge
regarding driver/operator engagement with motor vehicles within the context of other
highly automated systems in other transportation modes, such as rail and aviation. The
planned activities will include a synthesis of the existing research literature regarding
methods to enhance driver/operator knowledge of and engagement with automated
systems with an emphasis on research that evaluates the effectiveness of various
approaches for helping maintain situational awareness. The synthesis will include
research on engagement across a variety of transportation modes and potentially other
automated systems (e.g., power plants). The synthesis will identify technologies
currently being used as well as near-term solutions. Finally, the project will convene a
panel of subject matter experts from other modes within the USDOT to provide further
insights regarding the current state of knowledge. This work will help identify research
gaps and needs from the behavioral perspective, and it will provide interested
stakeholders with new and innovative ideas from other transportation modes. |
