A study conducted by researchers at Technical University Wien (TU Wien) in Vienna, Austria, aimed to understand the performance and trust of drivers in critical transitions with conditionally automated vehicles (AVs) on a test track. The experiment involved 22 participants who experienced four critical transitions while performing non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) using either a handheld device or auditory cues. The study found that reaction times were faster than in simulator studies and were mainly influenced by visual-cognitive load. Post-take-over control was significantly degraded with the handheld device, and NDRTs on a handheld device resulted in more safety-critical situations. The research suggests that future studies should focus on situation awareness and post-take-over control rather than just reaction times. Trust and distrust were also assessed, and it was found that experiencing the system reduced participants' distrust. The study recommends that conditionally automated vehicles should provide dedicated interfaces for NDRTs to maintain drivers' situation awareness. The research has been peer-reviewed and can be accessed in the journal Human Factors The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
