Goal: Analysis of drivers’ handling performance in short-term take-over situations after partial automated driving
Comparison between handling performance after manual and after partial-automated driving
Influence of hand posture and duration of system use on handling handling-performance performance in take-over take over situations
Two studies in motion based driving simulator:
Validation of results on test-track:
1. Variation of hand posture and duration of partly automated driving
Variation of hand posture Comparison with handling-performance as measured in driving simulator
2. Investigation of selected influencing factors, e.g. non-driving related tasks

2 to 2.5 seconds until driver has contact with controls (t2), action follows almost immediately (t3) Duration until end of action (t4) depends on subject, situation and HMI and may take up to 10 seconds
More research on modality x intensity needed Benefit of ADAS after take-over to be investigated
Multimodal, multistage HMI-concept seems advisable Prof. Dr. Lutz Eckstein

The human factors level plays a central role role, since automated driving – like every technology – has limits requiring interaction between vehicles and human beings.
Interaction is not only required in case of handing over the driving task to the driver, but also during automated driving.
Challenges require new concepts of interdisciplinary and international research:
linking automotive engineering to human factors, computer science, psychology,
Creating a high-fidelity driving simulator, depicting driving on motorways 1:1
Establishing a R&D facility in Silicon Valley, part of ProspectSV in San José
