Research

My research focuses on human interaction with technology, primarily within the field of transportation, and employs a systems theoretical approach that utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods. Here is a selection of studies that I have conducted.

User experience of multiple levels of automation in cars

On-road study conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area, USA, where users experienced a car with two automated driving functions in rush hour traffic

User acceptance of advanced driver assisance system in buses

Explorative study in which professional bus drivers got to use an advanced driver-assistance system, that could automatically dock at bus-stops, on a public road

Co-creating the future of park & ride

Workshop and questionnaire study that investigated how people experience park-and-ride services and how these could be designed in the future to better meet commuters' needs.

Traffic semantics - understanding drivers' interaction with traffic environments

Simulator study that involved eight participants who viewed a pre-recorded video of a driven route and at six pre-defined traffic situations rated their perception and understanding of the situation.
