Abstract There is a growing body of research in the field interaction between drivers/passengers and automated vehicles using augmented reality (AR) technology. Furthering advancements availability AR, number use cases around rises. Our literature review reveals that past, AR focussed on increasing road safety displaying navigational aids, however, more recent explores support immersive (non-)d...

Spatio-temporal data on human population and its driving factors is critical to understanding and responding to population problems. Unfortunately, such spatio-temporal data on a large scale and over the long term are often difficult to obtain. Here, we present a dataset on Chinese population distribution and its driving factors over a remarkably long period, from 1949 to 2013. Driving factors ...

exhaust emissions contribute greatly to air pollution, the social cost of which may occur as danger to human health, attracting huge medical expenses, causing absenteeism and hence loss of productivity. these are incentives to reduce exhaust emissions to the barest minimum. two major cities in ghana, accra and kumasi, are struck by vehicular traffic jams especially during rush-hours and are gra...

It has been shown repeatedly that adolescents are over-represented in crashes among all classes of road user, compared with other age groups. Causation of this overrepresentation is complex, with many different factors implicated from both basic and applied research perspectives. Ultimately, applications of theories of human behaviour must guide road safety studies of road user behaviour, and a...

Partially automated driving is expected to increase traffic efficiency. However, automation causes human factors concerns. One concern is the reduced operability during transitions between automation level, e.g. when failures occur. These concerns ask for a more justifiable implementation of automation for automobile appliances. As a first step towards applicable solutions for driver support, w...

From April 2004 to March 2007, a research project entitled “Situation and Intent Recognition for Risk Finding and Avoidance” was conducted. This project includes the following research topics: (i) estimation of driver’s state, (ii) driver behavior modeling, (iii) intelligent information processing methods for situation recognition and visual enhancement. This paper introduces several researches...

operator's role in industrial control centers takes place in time, which is one of the most important determinants of whether an expected action is going to be successful or not. in certain situations, due to the complex nature of the work, the existing interfaces and already prepared procedures do not meet the dynamic requirements of operator's cognitive demands, making the control tasks unnec...
