Abstract
An increase in automation in cars leads to an ongoing seek of information regarding traffic safety. It is safe to say that this increase plays a big role in overall traffic safety, but there is too little evidence about this topic in correlation with a drivers’ attitude towards this level of automation. The first aim of this study is to test the possible effects of attitude towards technology on driving behaviour while using automated feedback. The second aim of this study is to test if there is a difference in driving behaviour between different types of automated feedback. The hypothesis of this study is that a drivers’ attitude towards automation has a significant effect on driving behaviour and we therefore expect a difference in driving behaviour between drivers with a positive versus a negative attitude towards technology. Attitude towards automation is measured before driving in a driving simulator under four types of automated feedback. A significant correlation between the attitude towards technology and average speed under one type of automated feedback is found. No overall significant differences in driving behaviour are found between different attitude groups. The use of technology for conducting this study should be kept in consideration. Follow-up studies should focus on implementing automated feedback in a real-life setting. Keywords: Automated feedback, attitude towards technology, driving behaviour
