Exploring the operator experience in automated shuttles: Fatigue, attention, and gaze behaviour by Christer Ahlström, My Weidel, Anna Sjörs Dahlman, Ashleigh Filtness, Anna Anund

“…Study A revealed that while overall alertness was generally adequate, gaze patterns often deviated from safe expectations. Operators paid less attention to their surroundings than would be expected (21% not looking left, 38% not looking right, 58% not looking to the rear of the vehicle, in situations where this would have been appropriate).The results are important for safety operators and their employers, highlighting the shared responsibility of having well-prepared and well-rested operators who are fit to effectively monitor the automated shuttle for an entire driving period. …”
