Camden, Matthew C., Fitch, Gregory M., Blanco, Myra and Hanowski, Richard J. (2011): Commercial Driver Acceptance of Heavy Vehicle Camera/Video Imaging Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 55th Annual Meeting 2011. pp. 1899-1903.

“Large trucks are estimated to be involved in 20,311 crashes annually as a result of making improper lane changes, turns, and backing maneuvers. Camera/Video Imaging Systems (C/VISs) are designed to be a low cost countermeasure to these crash types by reducing the blind spots located around large trucks. Their effectiveness, however, depends on whether drivers accept and use this technology. This paper investigates drivers' opinions of C/VISs that were measured from 12 drivers who each partook in a four-month C/VIS technology field demonstration (TFD). The TFD investigated the utility of two C/VISs in assisting commercial drivers as they drove on revenue-producing routes. Drivers completed questionnaires pertaining to their perceptions of their driving performance and the C/VISs every two weeks while in the study. Drivers' indicated that the C/VISs reduced surrounding blind spots, improved their spatial awareness, and helped them merge into traffic. Overall, commercial drivers should accept C/VISs provided that they cover the right-side blind spot, allow monitors to be substantially dimmed to reduce glare, and do not create new blind spots.”

Hanowski, Richard J., Kantowitz, Susan C. and Kantowitz, Barry H. (1994): Driver Acceptance of Unreliable Route Guidance Information. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1062-1066.

“Human factors research can be used to design safe and efficient Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) that are easy to use (Kantowitz, Becker,&Barlow, 1993). This research used the Battelle Route Guidance Simulator (RGS) to examine two important issues related to driver behavior and acceptance of ATIS technology: (1) the effect of route familiarity on ATIS use and acceptance and (2) the level of information accuracy needed for an ATIS to be accepted and considered useful. The RGS included two 486 computers that provided drivers with real-time information and traffic reports. Drivers used a touch screen to select routes on one computer monitor and watched the results of their selection (i.e., real-time video of the traffic) on a second computer monitor. Drivers could use the system to obtain information about the traffic conditions on any link before traversing a route. In this experiment, subjects were exposed to four experimental conditions involving manipulation of the driver's familiarity with the route and the reliability of the traffic information”
