“…The “simple scale for acceptance measurement” from colleagues [ 1 ] (hereafter referred to as Simple Scale ) has been widely applied in transportation research. Researchers used the scale as subjective assessments of bicycles [ 2 ], helicopters [ 3 ], automated driving [ 4 ], or various in-car systems ranging from speed adaptation [ 5 ] and eco-driving [ 6 ] to in-vehicle signs [ 7 ] or other driver assistance systems [ 8 ]; in online surveys [ 9 ], simulators [ 10 ], or field trials [ 11 ]; in Europe [ 12 , 13 ], North America [ 14 , 15 ], or Australia [ 16 ]. It was created as “a simple, standard tool for the assessment of acceptance that can be used by the majority of researchers and that allows a comparison of impact of new devices with other systems” [ 1 ].…”

Acceptance intuitively is a precondition for the adaptation and use of technology. In this systematic review, we examine academic literature on the “simple scale for acceptance measurement” provided by Van der Laan, Heino, and de Waard (1997). This measure is increasingly applied in research on mobility systems without having been thoroughly analysed. This article aims to provide such a critical analysis. We identified 437 unique references in three aggregated databases and included 128 articles (N = 6,058 participants) that empirically applied the scale in this review. The typical study focused on a mobility system using a within-subjects design in a driving simulator in Europe. Based on quality indicators of transparent study aim, group allocation procedure, variable definitions, sample characteristics, (statistical) control of confounders, reproducibility, and reporting of incomplete data and test performance, many of the 128 articles exhibited room for improvements (44% below.50; range 0 to 1). Twenty-eight studies (22%) reported reliability coefficients providing evidence that the scale and its sub-scales produce reliable results (median Cronbach’s α >.83). Missing data from the majority of studies limits this conclusion. Only 2 out of 10 factor analyses replicated the proposed two-dimensional structure questioning the use of these sub-scales. Correlation results provide evidence for convergent validity of acceptance, usefulness, and satisfying with limited confidence, since only 14 studies with a median sample size of N = 40 reported correlation coefficients. With these results, the scale might be a valuable addition for technology attitude research. Firstly, we recommend thorough testing for a better understanding of acceptance, usefulness, and satisfying. Secondly, we suggest to report scale results more transparently and rigorously to enable meta-analyses in the future. The study protocol is available at the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/j782c/).

“…The inceptor control forces are generated by integrated servo actuators and thus can be modified in real time, such as to assist the pilot though active haptic feedback. 3 It has also been demonstrated in various studies that the handling qualities (HQs) of a helicopter may be optimized using AIS through adaptation of their FCMC to the aircraft dynamics. 4 Until recently, AIS have been limited to technology demonstrators and experimental aircraft.…”

US-german Joint In-flight and Simulator Evaluation of Collective Tactile Cueing for Torque Limit Avoidance: Shaker Versus Soft Stop

The demonstration and testing of tactile cueing was the subject of a common research undertaking by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center and the German Aerospace Center. The primary objective was to test a torque protection system with both a stick shaking cue generated with an attachable stick shaker and a soft stop cue generated by an active inceptor system. It was tested by five pilots in flight on the RASCAL JUH-60A helicopter and by four pilots in the ground-based simulator of the ACT/FHS (H-135) research helicopter based on a common set of high-performance takeoff mission profiles. The qualitative evaluation showed that the soft stop provided a greater workload reduction than the shaker and was the preferred cue. However, a shaker cue is a promising alternative when the application of an active inceptor system is not possible.
