The research goal of: Perceived AV comfort assessment from proving ground test data
The goal of this project is to explore and identify the critical factors influencing user acceptance of automated vehicles, with a particular focus on perceived comfort. This involves investigating the psychological and physiological elements that affect user comfort during interactions with automated vehicles. The project will specifically analyze how different driving styles-such as speed, acceleration profiles, and proximity to roadside objects or other actors-impact user comfort in complex driving scenarios. By contributing to the understanding of these factors, the project aims to enhance insights into user comfort, an area with limited existing research.
