Connected & Automated Vehicle Technology

The emerging connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies will reform drivers’ behavior patterns, therefore brings new challenges and concerns to the transportation society. With technology becomes progressively more advanced and capable of performing more sophisticated human tasks, the role of human operators has been gradually transiting from traditional manual controller to supervisory controller towards the ultimate goal of human control free concept. Our research focuses in this domain is of several dimensions: investigating human operators’ behavior and responses (safety consequences), identifying CAV system performances (limitations), and developing coping strategies (system or education program design).
