Abstract
Recent advances in automated vehicle systems purport to alleviate driver fatigue. Desmond & Hancock (2001) proposed, however, that there may be two forms of fatigue: active and passive. Active fatigue may be associated with dynamic interaction with vehicle controls, while passive fatigue may result from placing the driver in a supervisory role over automated functions. It is likely, therefore, that automation will reduce active fatigue, but increase passive fatigue. The present study found that individuals in a passive, automated driving condition reported higher levels of subjective fatigue compared to individuals in an active fatigue condition (induced with simulated wind gusts). Individuals in the passive condition also had slower response times compared to those in the active condition. Furthermore, drivers in the passive condition had elevated collision rates during a performance assessment phase in which automation was disabled. The results demonstrate that the safety of automated vehicle systems requires further consideration.
