Description
ADAPTATION is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network constituted of well-recognised European organisations (universities, research institutes and industrial partners) working on drivers' behaviour research and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) design.
ADAS have emerged as an integral part of modern road vehicles. They make use of the newest information technologies in order to enhance driver safety and comfort, and thereby avoiding driver errors and accidents. Today several systems and functions, available on the market, have the potential to meet these objectives. However, concerns have been raised that drivers adapt to these new systems in unexpected ways that can compromise safety.
ADAPTATION aims at studying the whole range of adaptation processes in response to ADAS including behavioural adaptation, risk compensation, and changes in information processing from a comprehensive perspective, in an integrated way. ADAPTATION adopts a wide view regarding the nature of adaptation processes, emphasising that adaptation does not only include observable behavioural changes, but also changes in regulatory, cognitive and motivational processes.
The objective of ADAPTATION is to improve the career perspectives of young researchers by taking part in an innovative and ambitious European research programme. In addition to training-through research (PhD and post-doctoral positions), personalised training actions will extend the skills of this future generation of academia and industry researchers.
Chemnitz University of Technology is in charge of the technical management of the project and leads the workpackage 2 “Definition of a joint methodology to investigate long-term changes in drivers' behaviour and underlying processes in response to ADAS”.
