Driver behaviour and driver experience of partial and fully automated truck platooning – a simulator study

Truck driver scheduling in Canada

This paper presents and studies the Canadian Truck Driver Scheduling Problem (CAN-TDSP) which is the problem of determining whether a sequence of locations can be visited within given time windows in such a way that driving and working activities of truck drivers comply with Canadian Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations. Canadian regulations comprise the provisions found in U...

Truck driver scheduling in Australia

In September 2008 new regulations for managing heavy vehicle driver fatigue entered into force in Australia. According to the new regulations there is a chain of responsibility ranging from drivers to dispatchers and shippers and thus, carriers must explicitly consider driving and working hour regulations when generating truck driver schedules. This paper presents and studies the Australian Tru...

Monotony of road environment and driver fatigue: a simulator study.

Studies have shown that drowsiness and hypovigilance frequently occur during highway driving and that they may have serious implications in terms of accident causation. This paper focuses on the task induced factors that are involved in the development of these phenomena. A driving simulator study was conducted in order to evaluate the impact of the monotony of roadside visual stimulation using...

Development and Verification of a Truck Driving Simulator for Driver Drowsiness Studies

Field operational testing for the study of driver behavior requires extensive preparation and precaution measures to limit subjects risk exposure during experiment. Moreover, inherent variability in testing conditions may introduce error in the experiment results. Alternatively, a driving simulator offers the ability to replicate driving situations in a safe and repeatable experimental environm...
