Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reaction time to take over request (time to hands on wheel, time to deactivation of the automation, time to begin of the requested maneuver: measured by the driving simulation); quality of take over performance after the deactivation of the automation (standard deviation of lateral position, maximal deviation of position, maximal lateral acceleration, maximal longitudinal acceleration, minimal time-to-collision: measured by the driving simulation); counting of driving errors during manual control take-over registered by post-hoc video rating
