Summary of the Collection of
Information
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) has proposed
to perform research involving the
collection of information from the
public as part of a multi-year effort to
learn about how humans interact with
driving automation systems (DAS). This
research will support NHTSA in
understanding the potential safety
challenges associated with human-DAS
interactions, particularly in the context
of mixed traffic interactions where some
vehicles have DAS and others do not.
Within mixed traffic environments,
vehicles may also have DAS that
perform more or less of the driving task
(i.e., different levels of automation) and
come with their own sets of
expectations and limitations.
The research will involve human
subjects testing using a driving
simulator. The goal is to understand
how drivers interact with driving
automation systems, specifically in
situations where the automation
behaves unlike a human driver. The
project will measure interactions
between humans and driving
automation systems by (1) examining
driving performance measures (such as
takeover time and reaction time), (2)
measuring understanding of the
automation through questionnaires, (3)
measuring trust in automation using
questionnaires, and (4) measuring risk
taking through questionnaires and a
simple behavioral task on a computer.
This research will add to NHTSA’s state
of knowledge and is not immediately
intended to inform regulations or
policy.
The research will be conducted in
three parts, referred to as Study 1, Study
2, and Study 3. All study procedures
will be approved by the University of
Iowa Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Data collection will begin upon receipt
of PRA clearance and will involve

Frm 00100

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

86203

human-subjects data collection using
the driving simulators at the University
of Iowa Driving Safety Research
Institute (DSRI).
The data collections will be
performed once to obtain the target
number of valid test participants. Study
participants will be members of the
general public and participation will be
voluntary with monetary compensation
provided. Participants will include
licensed drivers aged 18 to 65 who are
healthy and able to drive without
assistive devices. Participants will be
recruited using the DSRI registry and
through email blasts to University of
Iowa community.
The objective of the first study is to
understand how humans interact with
DAS in mixed traffic environments,
driving environments where some
vehicles have automated capabilities,
and some vehicles are driven manually.
In the first study, participants will
participate in pairs with each
participant driving a separate driving
simulator but interacting in the same
driving environment. Participants will
experience one of two driving
automation systems. Both members of
the participant pair will provide
informed consent, a pre-drive
questionnaire, a training presentation, a
familiarization drive, wellness
questionnaires to screen for simulator
sickness, a study drive, in-drive ratings
of trust, a post-drive questionnaire, and
a risk-propensity assessment. During the
simulator drives, one member of the
pair will perform a continuous drive
along a specified route. The other
member of the pair will complete three
short drives where they interact with
the other participant at specific points
throughout the drive. The simulator will
collect vehicle data (e.g., brake inputs,
steering wheel angle) and data about the
surrounding environment (e.g., distance
to surrounding vehicles and lane
markings). After the drives, participants
will complete a questionnaire to assess
their understanding of the DAS and
their trust in and acceptance of the DAS.
Data will be analyzed to understand
how human drivers interact with DAS
in mixed traffic situations and to
understand how humans understand
and perceive automation in different
situations.
Study 2 will focus on understanding
the impact of different levels of
automated system capability, defined by
how well the automation can perform
different driving behaviors. In the
second study, participants will
complete a drive in a driving simulator
with a driving automation system. The
study drive will contain situations to
which the DAS must respond.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 12, 2023 / Notices

Participants will be randomly assigned
to one of three systems with different
capabilities, defined by how well the
automation can navigate the set of test
situations. The simulator will collect
vehicle data (e.g., brake inputs, steering
wheel angle) and data about the
surrounding environment (e.g., distance
to surrounding vehicles and lane
markings). After the drives, participants
will complete a questionnaire to assess
their understanding of the DAS and
their trust in and acceptance of the DAS
as well as a risk-propensity assessment.
Data will be analyzed to understand
how human drivers interact with DAS
in mixed traffic situations and to
understand how humans understand
and perceive automation in different
situations.
Study 3 will be similar to Study 2 but
will focus on how the decision-making
behaviors of the automated driving
systems impact user experience and
driving performance. In the third study,
participants will complete a drive in a
driving simulator with a driving
automation system. The study drive will
contain situations to which the DAS
must respond. Participants will be
randomly assigned to one of three
systems with different capabilities,
defined by how well the automation can
navigate the set of test situations.
Procedures for the three studies are
identical apart from the study drive
experienced.
These three studies will involve
information collection through
participant screening questions, a predrive questionnaire, a wellness
questionnaire to measure simulator
sickness symptoms, assessment of
driving performance in a driving
simulator with a situational trust
questionnaire administered at points
during the study drives, a post-drive
questionnaire, and a behavioral
assessment of risk-taking propensity
called the balloon analogue risk task
(BART).
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration’s (NHTSA) mission is to
save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce
economic costs associated with motor
vehicle crashes. As new vehicle
technologies are developed, it is
prudent to ensure that they do not
create any unintended decrease in
safety. The safe deployment of driving
automation systems, particularly when
deployed in mixed traffic where some
vehicles are controlled by automation
and some are controlled manually,
requires an understanding of how
humans respond to and perceive
different automation behavior. This
work seeks to examine how drivers
interact with driving automation

systems in a wide sample of contexts
and different levels of automation.
The collection of information will
consist of:
1. Eligibility Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1742).
2. Informed Consent Study 1 (NHTSA
Form 1743).
3. Informed Consent Study 2 (NHTSA
Form 1744).
4. Informed Consent Study 3 (NHTSA
Form 1745).
5. Pre-Drive Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1746).
6. Wellness Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1747).
7. Driving Behavior Assessment (PreDrive PowerPoint Training,
Familiarization Drive, Study Drive with
In-Drive Questionnaire (NHTSA Form
1748).
8. Post-Drive Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1749).
9. Balloon Analogue Risk Task
(BART).
The information to be collected will
be used for the following purposes:
1. Eligibility Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1742)—Necessary for determining
individuals’ suitability for study
participation based on driving
experience and history, general health,
and ability to safely drive in the
simulator without health concerns. The
Eligibility Questionnaire will solely be
used to determine individuals’
suitability for study participation and
will not be analyzed in any way. These
criteria will remain the same across
studies.
2. Informed Consent Study 1 (NHTSA
Form 1743)—Necessary for obtaining
informed written consent from the
participant to participate in the study.
The form describes all study
procedures, data storage and use, and
potential risks from the study.
3. Informed Consent Study 2 (NHTSA
Form 1744)—Necessary for obtaining
informed written consent from the
participant to participate in the study.
The form describes all study
procedures, data storage and use, and
potential risks from the study.
4. Informed Consent Study 3 (NHTSA
Form 1745)—Necessary for obtaining
informed written consent from the
participant to participate in the study.
The form describes all study
procedures, data storage and use, and
potential risks from the study.
5. Pre-Drive Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1746)—Necessary for collecting
data used to measure participants’
understanding (i.e., mental model) of
DAS and their pre-drive trust in the
DAS. Collecting these data before and
after the drives will let us measure how
exposure to the DAS impacts

Sfmt 4703

understanding and trust. Demographic
information (e.g., age, sex, gender, race,
ethnicity) will also be collected. This
pre-drive questionnaire will remain the
same across all three studies.
6. Wellness Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1747)—Necessary for evaluating
simulator sickness symptoms to
determine individuals’ ability to
complete the study drive in the driving
simulator. This questionnaire will be
administered pre-drive (to obtain
baseline ratings), after the
familiarization drive, and after the study
drive. This wellness questionnaire will
remain the same across all three studies.
7. Driving Behavior Assessment
(Study Drive) with In-Drive
Questionnaire (NHTSA Form 1748)—
Before the study drive, participants will
complete training via a PowerPoint
presentation on a computer in a private
study room. The presentation will
introduce the simulator, the
familiarization and study drive
procedures, the DAS, and the nondriving email task. The familiarization
drive is necessary to acclimate the
participant to the driving simulator and
perform a real-time determination for
simulator sickness while training the
participant on how to use the driving
automation system. The study drive is
necessary for gathering driving
performance information for the
purpose of assessing how drivers
interact with automated systems and the
impact of these interactions on safety.
The in-drive questionnaire is necessary
for understanding drivers’ trust in the
DAS at various points during the study
drive. In Study 1, this information is
collected after the events where the pair
of research participants interact with
one another. In Studies 2 & 3, this
information is collected after the four
events where the behavior of the
automation varies across the different
conditions. The information will be
used to measure trust in the DAS
following specific events. These
questions will remain the same across
all three studies.
8. Post-Drive Questionnaire (NHTSA
Form 1749)—Necessary for collecting
data used to measure participants’
understanding (i.e., mental model) of
DAS and their post-drive trust in the
DAS, as well as general risk-taking
behavior while driving. This post-drive
questionnaire will remain the same
across all three studies.
9. Balloon Analogue Risk Task
(BART)—Necessary for measuring
objective risk-taking propensity. For this
computerized task, participants are
presented with 20 different balloons (20
trials) and told that ‘‘the actual number
of pumps for any particular balloon will

E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM

12DEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 12, 2023 / Notices
vary.’’ Participants are instructed to
attempt to earn as many points as
possible. At the beginning of each trial,
the participant decides how many
pumps they thought the balloon would
hold and input this number. Each
balloon inflates for 3 seconds and then
either pops or stays intact depending on
whether the participant’s wager was
above or below the predetermined
explosion point for that balloon. If the
balloon is pumped past its explosion
point, it will pop, and the participant
earns no points for that balloon. If the
balloon is not pumped past the
explosion point, the participant keeps
the number of pumps as points. After
each outcome, a new deflated balloon
appears on the screen and points earned
will be added to the total. Each balloon
could earn a maximum of 128 points
with an explosion point equally likely
to occur on any given pump participant
to the constraint that within each
sequence of 10 balloons the average
explosion point was on pump 64. The
task will remain the same across the
three studies and is a standardized
online tool.
Affected Public
Individuals aged 18+ from Eastern
Iowa and the surrounding areas who
have volunteered to take part in driving

studies will be contacted for
participation. They will be randomized
evenly by sex, though some imbalance
will be permitted to be inclusive of
individuals who do not identify on the
gender spectrum or as a result of
differences in how sex may be identified
on drivers’ licenses across States. Efforts
will be made to enroll a diverse age
sample that broadly represents the age
of the driving population and includes
those at greater risk of crashing (e.g.,
less than 25 years of age and greater
than 65 years of age). Businesses are
ineligible for the sample and will not be
contacted.
Estimated Number of Respondents
To obtain the target number of 224
valid test participants. Assuming typical
data loss rates for simulator testing with
human participants, it is anticipated
that 300 participants will need to be run
in order to obtain 224 valid participant
datasets. This will ensure sufficient
statistical power in each of the three
studies to detect differences between
conditions.
Information for the three studies will
be obtained in an incremental fashion to
permit the determination of which
individuals have the necessary
characteristics for study participation.
All interested candidates will complete

86205

the Eligibility Questionnaire. From the
subset of individuals found to meet the
criteria in the Eligibility Questionnaire,
a subset will be chosen with the goal of
achieving a sample providing a balance
of sex to be scheduled for study
participation. Some imbalance will be
allowed to be inclusive of all identities
since not all individuals will identify on
the gender spectrum. Participants will
complete the Pre-Drive Questionnaire
before a familiarization drive and the
Wellness Questionnaire immediately
after the drive to screen for simulator
sickness. Participants who pass the
screening will complete the remainder
of the study procedures, including the
In-Drive Questionnaire, the Post-Drive
Questionnaire, and the Balloon
Analogue Risk Task.
Data collection will involve
approximately 700 respondents for the
Eligibility Questionnaire (with
approximately 400 potentially meeting
eligibility criteria) and 300 respondents
for the Pre-Drive Questionnaire,
Wellness Questionnaire, the Driving
Behavior Assessment, the Post-Drive
Questionnaire, and the Balloon
Analogue Risk Task. A summary of the
estimated numbers of individuals that
will complete the noted question sets is
provided in the following table.

Abstract: Under the Omnibus
Transportation Employee Testing Act of
1991, DOT is required to implement a
drug and alcohol testing program in
various transportation-related
industries. This specific requirement is
elaborated in 49 CFR part 40,
Procedures for Transportation
Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing
Programs. This request for a renewal of
the information collection for the
program includes 45 burden items
including the U.S. Department of
Transportation Alcohol Testing Form
(ATF) [DOT F 1380] and the DOT Drug
and Alcohol Testing Management
Information System (MIS) Data
Collection Form [DOT F 1385].
The ATF includes the employee’s
name, the type of test taken, the date of
the test, and the name of the employer.
Data on each test conducted, including
test results, is necessary to document
that the tests were conducted and is
used to take action, when required, to
ensure safety in the workplace. The MIS
form includes employer specific drug
and alcohol testing information such as
the reason for the test and the
cumulative number of test results for the
negative, positive, and refusal tests. No
employee specific data is collected. The
MIS data is used by each of the affected
DOT Agencies (i.e., Federal Aviation
Administration, Federal Transit
Administration, Federal Railroad
Administration, Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, and the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
