“…T he factor of age was show n to be a noticeable effect as the results showed that older people are more likely to purchase CV features. This result is in line with a previous study Fernandes et al (2017) that mentioned older people may find automated and advanced features of a vehicle helpful in comfortably maintaining mobility, especially for older drivers with physical disabilities. An unexpected finding of this study was that there was no significant sign to prove people with higher income levels are more likely to purchase CVs' features.…”

The study of connected vehicles (CVs) has become a hot topic in recent years. Understanding the characteristics that lead consumers to relate to CVs motivates researchers to conduct market analysis studies. The current research investigated the socio-demographic attributes that may contribute to the individual preferences for purchasing CVs. Researchers constructed a series of Alternative-Specific Mixed Logit models to examine the associations between individual preferences of respondents and their willingness to pay for CV features in their future vehicle. The results indicate that hours spent driving play a privileged role among sociodemographic characteristics and driving behavior attributes of respondents. People who drive longer hours tended to purchase CV features. Also, the factor of age had a noticeable effect as the results showed that older people are more likely to purchase CV features.

“…We are aware of two publications discussing the concrete design solutions for older drivers with impairments. Caird et al [ 6 ] and Fernandes [ 13 ] have presented some design guidelines and functional limitations to address HMI design for older drivers, considering their physical and mental impairments. Study by Fernandes et al [ 13 ] presented design improvement opportunities for seats, mirrors, driver assistance, and on-board devices.…”

The automotive industry is working toward driving automation and driver-assistance technology is becoming a norm in modern cars. Warning alert systems support the driver–car interaction and inform drivers about automation system status, upcoming obstacles, or dangers ahead. However, older drivers’ needs are not always addressed in research studies, although they make up a large segment of drivers. Therefore, we conducted a qualitative three-round formative evaluation of a warning alert system using video prototypes in lab and remote settings. The goal was to evaluate visual-, sound-, and speech-based alerts based on: (a) their efficiency in informing drivers about the road situation ahead, and (b) participants’ subjective opinions. We evaluated the system’s efficiency using self-reported data measuring participants’ cognitive load, usability, UX, and ease of use. Also, we conducted interviews to collect subjective feedback about proposed prototypes. In this article, we describe the design of warning alerts and report on their evaluation results. Our results show that speech-based warnings, especially when coupled with visual warnings, are efficient and accepted well by the participants. This article illustrates older drivers’ attitude toward the use of different warning modalities in the driving context.

“…While appearing nondescript and mundane, the activity constitutes a significant part of transport experiences for many people, and is an important consideration in the daily practicalities of a person's travels (see, for example, Binnie et al, 2007). In recent years, both academics and practitioners have taken this topic into the planning domain, turning micro transport spaces such as stations, platforms and the interiors of transport vehicles-from aircraft to buses-into objects of design and improvement (see Fernandes et al, 2017;Rui et al, 2015;Vink and Brauer, 2016). With this increasing interest in the minutiae of passengering, transport studies have also gradually opened up a new line of inquiry that used to be on the margins of more conventional concerns such as networks and nodes.…”

At the intersection of transport geography and mobilities studies, scholars have paid increasing attention to passengering as a key characteristic in transport systems and a window through which one can understand how transport unfolds on the ground. In this editorial to the virtual special issue, we contribute to these debates by thinking through how passengers and passenger groups are deeply heterogeneous in nature, being far from singular or discrete, and escaping easy definitions of what passengering is or does. We discuss such variability in passenger formations and roles in three ways. First, we consider how passengering is a nonreplicable process involving different compositions of people each time. Then, we highlight passengers' inconstant roles and subjectivities while on the move. And finally, we delineate how the act/art of passengering can be extended across multiple timespaces involving and exceeding immediate transport environments. We show that these three prompts have important implications for transport infrastructures and services, as well as for fotransport design and planning. By tackling these ideas, the papers in this issue offer new insights on the spatialities of transport and on the site-specific productions of passengering.
