Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Researchers' Work from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology - RMIT University Focuses on Self-Driving Cars (Preparing Drivers for the Future: Evaluating the Effects of Training On Drivers' Performance In an Autonomous Vehicle Landscape)
2023 NOV 28 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Transportation Daily News -- Investigators publish new report on Transportation - Self-Driving Cars.
Article Description
The rapid development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology has raised concerns about the ability of ordinary drivers to safely interact with these systems without formal training or practice sessions. This study investigates the impact of training on drivers' ability to interact with ADAS functions, aiming to enhance road safety and prepare drivers for future autonomous driving. To do so the study compared novice and experienced drivers' performance across various driving training sessions separated by different time intervals. Using a simulation-based driving scenario, a diverse group of participants with different ages, genders, driving experience, and ADAS usage frequencies was recruited. Participants were instructed to drive a virtual subject vehicle (SV) multiple times with different time intervals and various ADAS functions being activated and/or deactivated. Data on steering wheel input, acceleration, braking, event triggering time, response time, and vehicle lateral position were collected and analysed. Participants' performance, measured in terms of accuracy, reaction time in interacting with ADAS functions, and vehicle control when they are interacting with those functions, was assessed after each training session. Results revealed significant improvements in accuracy, reaction time, and vehicle control for both novice and experienced drivers' performance following training. The results highlight the importance of appropriate training for drivers to safely operate ADAS and autonomous functions, providing valuable insights for policymakers, vehicle manufacturers, and driver education institutions. Furthermore, the findings emphasise the need for further investigations on the effectiveness of various training modalities and the potential benefits of integrating real-time feedback systems or Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted coaching. This study has important ramifications for the future design and implementation of driver training programs, as well as the development of policies and regulations to promote the safe use of ADAS and AV technology in the future.
