Favouring multi-disciplinary approaches to investigate drivers’ adaptation processes
By design, the ADAPTATION network is multi-disciplinary. Indeed, investigation of drivers’ adaptation processes in response to ADAS requires integrating approaches currently coming from heterogeneous scientific backgrounds (neurophysiology, experimental psychology, psycho sociology, ergonomics and engineering) into a consistent research framework.
The acquisition by ESR of a multi-disciplinary background will come from the transfer of knowledge between senior scientists and young researchers and also between young researchers themselves.
At the beginning of the first year of the PhD work, a three-days joint seminar on “Human Factors issues related to ADAS use by accessing and evaluating recent scientific results” will be organised with three main objectives:
- to provide ESR a joint background of ADAS and Human Factors issues,
- to permit ESR to know each other,
- to launch collaborative work on methodologies to investigate temporal effects of ADAS use.
During all the lifetime of the project, the training activity will include collaborative work between ESR from different discipline in order to:
- Define a joint methodology framework to investigate driver’s adaptation processes
- Favour joint experimentations
- Support data analysis
