Abstract
Traffic accidents remain a major cause of death globally, with risk factors such as speeding, harsh braking and accelerating exacerbating the likelihood of a crash. Feedback might be a useful tool to decrease crash risk. Research suggests that openness to feedback and self-awareness may play a crucial role in shaping drivers' responses to the feedback. This thesis aims to explore the effect of automation through feedback on reducing the risk of traffic incidents and to examine the role of openness to feedback and self-awareness in shaping drivers' responses to the feedback. This study consisted of questionnaires as well as driving five times in a driving-simulator. The results indicate that feedback does not significantly affect sharp acceleration and sharp decelerations. Indicating that, the feedback used in this study does not seem to decrease crash risk. No significant effect was present for the moderators: Self-Awareness and Openness to Feedback. Further research could focus on Multi-modal Feedback and could improve the internal validity, through using a more realistic driving-simulator.
