Recent advancements in drone technology are opening new opportunities and applications in various fields of life especially in the form of small drones. However, these advancements are also causing new challenges in terms of security, adaptability, and consistency. This research discusses the drone technology, area of usages, citizen multi-objective uses, drones security, protection, and secrecy apprehensions, drone current intimidations and susceptibilities, existing approaches for drone cyber-security methods, security threats to drones and data sources for current literature review. Small drones are proving to be a new opportunity for the civil and military industries. The small drones are suffering from architectural issues and the definition of security and safety issues. The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens new dimensions for drone technology but posing new threats as well. The tiny flying intelligent devices are challenging for the security and privacy of data. The design of these small drones is yet not matured to fulfill the domain requirements. The basic design issues also need security mechanisms, privacy mechanisms and data transformations.

“…Yanco and Drury ( 2004 ) measured the SA of the teleoperator of an urban rescue robot as the number of the collisions with other objects and the time spent adjusting the camera. Velagapudi et al ( 2012 ) measured SA in the context of unmanned aerial vehicles based on the difference between the real positions of colored targets in a video from the vehicle and the positions where the subject thought these targets were on a map. Performance methods also are suitable for studying SA in RCVs.…”

This study reviews the current information concerning the measurement of the situation awareness (SA) of the teleoperated drivers of remotely controlled cars. The teleoperated drivers who drive these cars are in a remote location, and they control the cars through a communication interface. The objective methods with probes are beneficial in measuring SA on a closed circuit without real traffic. Questions specifically should address the information provided on the road by haptic sensations, such as the slope of the road and the vehicle's speed. Methods for measuring SA that involve probes and interruptions obviously are not suitable for use on public roads. A stable environment for the display and control of the communication interface is suitable for an eye tracker in measuring SA. These features also facilitate the use of subjective observer-rating methods. Both of these methods are suitable for driving on real roads because they are not intrusive. SA research in a real-road environment also should demonstrate how the SA of other drivers is affected by seeing a car without a driver. Given the remote character of driving, cultural differences in cognition may have a significant influence on the SA of the teleoperated driver.

“…SA in virtual environments is also better when subjects have a lot of experience with 3D computer games [89,90] and might be dependent on cultural differences in cognition like Western analytical and Eastern holistic thinking [57]. With the use of the combination of VR and ET, SA might be measured as the number of eye collisions with other objects in the visual field [91] or differences between real positions of objects and places where subjects think these objects are on the map [92]. However, measurement of situation awareness with eye tracking is criticized for being unable to judge how a subject evaluates information [93].…”

HMD-Based VR Tool for Traffic Psychological Examination: Conceptualization and Design Proposition

In the present theoretical paper, the current body of knowledge regarding the use of wearable virtual reality (VR) technologies for traffic psychological examination (TPE) is introduced, critically discussed and a specific application is suggested. The combination of wearable head-mounted displays for VR with an interactive and cost-effective haptic driving interface is emphasized as a valid and viable platform for a driving skills psychological assessment, which is in several aspects superior to standard TPE as well as driving simulators. For this purpose, existing psychological examination methods and psychological phenomena relevant in the process of driving are discussed together with VR technology’s properties and options. Special focus is dedicated to situation awareness as a crucial, but currently hardly measurable construct, where VR in combination with embedded eye-tracking (ET) technology represents a promising solution. Furthermore, the suitability and possibilities of these VR tools for valid traffic psychological examination are analyzed and discussed. Additionally, potentially desirable measures for driving assessment based on recent advances of VR are outlined and practical applications are suggested. The aim of this article is to bring together recent advances in TPE, VR and ET; revise previous relevant studies in the field; and to propose concept of the cost effective, mobile and expandable HMD-based driving simulator, which can be suitable for an ecologically valid driving assessment and follow-up TPE in common practice.
