Abstract:This report summarizes the research results in the Automated Check-out Activity Area. Situations in AHS where transition from automated to manual control takes place are analyzed. In particular, driver readiness testing to ensure safe and smooth transition from automated to manual control has been emphasized. We show that, by appropriate design considerations, driver readiness testing procedures can be created such that they measure driving performance directly, while they appear natural and reasonable to the driver. We present such a novel testing procedure which also ensures a safe, effective, and smooth transition from automated to manual driving mode. In this procedure, the authority of the automatic controller is gradually decreased, while the manual control authority is gradually increased. This gradual transfer of control continues as long as the driver is capable of performing the manual control part of this hybrid, automatic/manual controller. The system monitors the driver’s progress, and accelerates or slows down the transfer of control from automatic to manual. The system will not sacrifice safety at any point; hence, whenever the driver’s performance is determined to be unsatisfactory, the automatic control authority may be increased to adequately control the vehicle. This could be achieved by letting the automatic controller provide an admissible envelope of trajectories for manual control.
