Abstract. This report describes opportunities for using driving simulators for research of driver-vehicle interaction. We have focused on examples of the using of the current equipment of the University Science Park of University of Žilina. Laboratory was built for research of driver-vehicle interaction. It's also important to give examples of evaluation after several measurements. The SNA -211 REN driving simulator was used for each experimental measurement. It was necessary to use some additional equipment, because the driving simulator was used only for simulation. During simulations, drivers have been performing tasks connected with vehicle driving. Driver's eye tracking in specific conditions was also important part of our research. We have tested the behaviour of drivers when they have used mobile phones for texting and GPS device with touchscreen.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has affected normal human behaviour in day-to-day activities. As a result of various restrictions, people have significantly changed their shopping and mobility to limit the spread of the pandemic. This article aims to determine the association between consumers’ shopping preferences and the frequency of selected daily activities during and before the COVID-19 pandemic using correspondence analysis. The total sample consists of 407 respondents from Slovakia. The data are obtained from an online questionnaire divided into several sections such as socio-demographic factors, shopping preferences, and frequency of selected activities per week. The results show that there is an association between consumers’ preference for shopping in supermarkets and the frequency of family visits per week during the pandemic, among other factors. These findings follow up on previous studies on the consequences of changing mobility as a result of the global crisis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
