“…The primary category of industrial vehicles considered in studies on SA included covered forestry harvesters, wheel loaders, excavators, dump trucks, wheeled excavators, mobile cranes [18], truck platooning [27], forklifts [28], and crawler and wheeled excavators [29,30]. The commercial vehicles were mainly passenger and goods vehicles [31][32][33][34], school vehicles [35], and automated vehicles [36][37][38].…”

“…On the other hand, ref. [27] evaluated the SA and perceived sleepiness of 10 professional truck drivers who worked with a two-vehicle platooning system. One of the discussions deals with the number of participants since, although the experiment was conducted under naturalistic conditions, it also dealt with a smaller sample compared to laboratory experiments, and the eye-tracking measurement was less reliable than in laboratory settings because of variable light conditions.…”

The conceptual framework for assessing the situational awareness (SA) of drivers consists of three hierarchical levels: perception of the elements of the environment, comprehension of the elements, and decision-making in the near future. A common challenge in evaluating SA is the determination of the available subjective and objective techniques and their selection and integration into methodologies. Among the objective techniques, eye tracking is commonly used, considering the influence of gaze behavior on driving. This review is presented as an innovative approach to the subject matter, introducing physiological metrics based on eye tracking and investigating their application in assessing the SA of drivers. In addition, experiments and methodologies that revealed patterns at the three levels of SA were identified. For this purpose, databases were searched, and 38 papers were considered. Articles were clustered according to prevalent themes such as eye-tracking metrics, eye-tracking devices, experiment design, and the relationship between SA and eye-tracking. This review summarizes the main metrics and key findings for each article and reveals a wide relationship between the eye-tracking metrics and SA. The influence of appropriately calibrated equipment, refined data collection protocols, and adequate selection of the eye-tracking metrics was examined. Further reviews are needed to systematically collect more evidence.

“…At the same time, in the urban context, automated vehicles appear as innovative solutions for the vehicle sharing economy by introducing shared autonomous vehicle services [5]. Automated systems are also being studied in the road freight transport sector, with the concept of truck platooning gaining momentum [6]. In all the contexts mentioned, there is one common aspect: driving tasks are becoming more digital, and drivers are required to interact with new interfaces and learn new tasks.…”

Investigation of transportation innovations for food delivery and truck platoons

Studies find that low-income areas are underserved by food retailers and have less access to healthy food, contributing to health disparities. A section of this thesis examines micromobility, drones, and ridesharing that may be suited to deliver food. Using estimated capacities and delivery speeds of several transportation modes, quantitative analysis showed that micromobility is a feasible means of delivery for short-distance, small-quantity orders. Vehicles were the only suitable option once quantity or distance increases, with trucks being the only option for large deliveries of food. Regarding trucks, autonomous truck platooning has potential benefits such as energy savings, increased capacity, and improved safety. A section of this thesis discusses the novel issue of driver behavior interacting with truck platoons in work zones. This research investigates the effects of education, platoon signage, and the number of platooned trucks using a federated simulator study. The study found that education and the use of signage showed increased driver efficiency near platoons. There was a 13 percent increase in speed and 30 percent decrease in distance following a 2-truck platoon after education. Driver speed also increased by at least 14 percent and following distance increased by at least 24 percent, with signage added. Post-simulator survey results showed drivers strongly agree that education helps to clarify how to react to platoons. 90 percent of drivers admitted it is safer to not overtake the platoon, yet only 62 percent indicated they would follow it. Using the results of this research, transportation agencies could formulate policies better accommodate truck platoons as the technology grows.
