• Abstract:
  As new technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems (ADS) are introduced into transit operations, the tasks required of the operator will change. This research effort sought to understand if a low-cost training tool could be developed to maintain/improve safety as transit agencies pilot test these technologies. The program that was developed used an error training approach to improve hazard anticipation, hazard mitigation, and attention maintenance. This preliminary pilot study was conducted with federal employees and showed significant improvements across all three of the training areas.
