Description
Since the introduction of Automated Vehicles (AVs) on roads, there have been a number of high-profile collisions, which have highlighted significant driver challenges. These include challenges associated with drivers' trust in the automation, their knowledge and awareness of the AV's capabilities and limitations and their reduced situation awareness of the road environment and the vehicle. Solutions are needed to overcome these challenges, so that the expected benefits of AVs can be realised.
Driver Training for Automated Vehicles: A Systems Approach identifies the training requirements for drivers of AVs and takes a systematic approach to design, develop, implement and evaluate a comprehensive training package to address these requirements. This book explores how training can overcome the driver challenges associated with AVs by improving drivers' mental models, trust in automation, decisions and behaviour when activating a Level 4 AV. It presents a systematic approach to the training lifecycle, by first presenting the current state of research into AVs, identifying the challenges and training requirements for drivers of AVs, and then developing and evaluating a training programme to achieve these requirements. This fascinating title highlights the need for drivers to undergo training for AVs, and takes us a step closer to this need. It walks readers through a systematic, four-step process and provides practical guidance to develop and evaluate an effective training programme. The reader will develop a thorough understanding of the current driver challenges with AVs and the methods and systems to mitigate them through current knowledge and research.
This book is an ideal read for practitioners, designers and academics with a professional or research interest in AVs. Its appeal extends to those in the fields of automotive design, Systems Engineering, Human Factors and education and training.

"A comprehensive, insightful, look into driver training for the new generation of automated vehicles. The authors' impressive synthesis of existing knowledge supports immediate practical implications for training - essential reading for researchers and practitioners alike."Professor Gerry Matthews, George Mason University, USA.
"The driver's role is fundamentally changing and this book identifies the training needs for automated vehicles. This book provides unprecedented inspiration in the design of driver training programmes so that automated vehicles may be safely operated on our roads. It is highly recommended reading for all those involved in training drivers of the future."
Associate Professor Lisa Dorn, Cranfield University, UK.
"Merriman and colleagues take us on an erudite journey in which they use state-of-the-art methods to design and evaluate a novel and innovative training approach for automated vehicles. In doing so, they fill critical gaps in the knowledge base and provide a how-to guide for training system design and evaluation. This seminal work is an essential read not only for researchers and practitioners working in road safety, but also those in other domains in which advanced technologies are changing the nature of training needs. "
Professor Paul Salmon, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia.

Dr Siobhan E. Merriman, BSc, MSc, PhD, Grad.CIEHF, MIES, is a Visiting Research Fellow in Human Factors Engineering within the Transportation Research Group, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. Siobhan holds a BSc in Psychology (2018, Royal Holloway University), an MSc in Human Factors and Ergonomics (2019, University of Nottingham) and was awarded a PhD in Engineering and the Environment at the University of Southampton in March 2023. Siobhan's PhD research involved designing, developing and evaluating Training Programmes to improve drivers' mental models, trust, decisions and behaviour when activating Automated Vehicles. In 2022, Siobhan's PhD work contributed to a Government Policy Consultation on Self-Driving Vehicles and was awarded the Dieter W. Jahns Student Practitioner Award by the Foundation for Professional Ergonomics. Since completing her PhD, Siobhan has been investigating how vulnerable road users (e.g. cyclists and pedestrians) will be impacted by the introduction of Automated Vehicles, as part of the REsilient Autonomous SOcio-cyber-physical ageNts project within the UK Research and Innovation Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Programme.
