Abstract

Driving in the night is significantly more dangerous and it cannot be solely attributed to reduced visibility or sleep deprivation. It is also due to circadian changes in human cognitive performance. Semi-automated driving is slowly entering the market and is predicted to improve driving safety; however, it might also introduce new types of challenges. There is a paucity of research on the circadian influences on semi-automated driving. This work proposes an extended, multi-period, Consensus Model of the driver that includes circadian rhythmicity in semi-automated driving. The basis for the multi-period Consensus Model is the interpolation of the data from manual driving, and literature related to the circadian effect on the factors from the Consensus Model of the driver in automation. The results of the literature review stress the importance of circadian rhythmicity inclusion in research on vehicle automation.
