Mixed-Effects Model to Assess the Effect of Disengagements on Speed of an Automated Shuttle with Sensors for Localization, Navigation, and Obstacle Detection by Abhinav Grandhi, Ninad Gore, Srinivas S. Pulugurtha

“…A multi-level mixed-effects Gaussian regression model with a log-link function was employed to analyze the effect of disengagement events on the automated shuttle speed, while accounting for control variables such as roadway geometry, weather conditions, time-of-the-day, day-of-the-week, and number of intermediate stops. When these variables are controlled, disengagements significantly reduce the automated shuttle speed, with the expected log of speed decreasing by 0.803 units during such events. …”
