Trial summary

At level 3 conditionally automated, the vehicle ensures driving and the driver disengages from driving to perform another activity independent of driving (ex: read a book, play on his phone ....). However, drivers are expected to be available to take over control for the case of system failure or limitation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Identification of Physiological and Behavioural Biomarkers to Predict Take-over Control Quality in Level 3 Conditionally Automated Vehicles

At level 3 conditionally automated, the vehicle ensures driving and the driver disengages from driving to perform another activity independent of driving (ex: read a book, play on his phone ....). However, drivers are expected to be available to take over control for the case of system failure or limitation. This take-over control must take place in a limited time, very short, of the order of a few seconds. To take-over control of the vehicle quickly and efficiently, the driver must be, at the time of take-over, vigilant, efficient, and attentive to the environment and focused on the take-over of manual driving. Predicting the driver's reengagement capabilities to ensure that the driver will be able to take-over control of the vehicle is crucial at level 3 of autonomous driving.

The objective of ANTIDOTE is to determine physiological and behavioural parameters capable of predicting the take-over quality in level 3 conditionally automated vehicles in a simulated highway driving situation in healthy drivers or drivers with attention disorders.

At level 3 conditionally automated, the vehicle ensures driving and the driver disengages from driving to perform non-related driving tasks (ex: read a book, play on his phone ....). However, drivers are expected to be available to take over control for the case of system failure or limitation. This take-over control must take place in a limited time, very short, of the order of a few seconds. To take-over control of the vehicle quickly and efficiently, the driver must be, at the time of take-over, vigilant, efficient, and attentive to the environment and focused on the take-over of manual driving. Predicting the driver's reengagement capabilities to ensure that the driver will be able to take-over control of the vehicle is crucial at level 3 of autonomous driving.

In this context, the objective of ANTIDOTE is to determine physiological and behavioural parameters capable of predicting the take-over quality in level 3 conditionally automated vehicles in a simulated highway driving situation.

This study will examine how engagement will impact take-over control quality in 6 non-driving related secondary tasks. A driving simulator study will be conducted and data from a total of 32 healthy drivers and 16 drivers with attention disorders will be used to evaluate take-over quality.

Electrophysiological (EEG, ECG, EDA, EMG, respiration) and behavioral data will be recorded before, during and after the take-over control.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Driving simulator sessionsBehavioural

    The volunteers will be placed in a driving simulator that will simulate autonomous highway driving. This autonomous driving will be interrupted by take-over requests related to events that disrupt autonomous driving. During autonomous driving, the driver will have to disengage from driving by performing non-related driving tasks. During each non-related driving tasks, a take-over request will be sent. Electrophysiological (EEG, ECG, EDA, EMG, respiration) and behavioural data will be recorded before, during and after the take-over control.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of driving take-over behaviour

    Quality of driving take-over behaviour (Good/bad) will be assessed by collision (collision or driving off the road) and critical encounters (Time To Collision).

    Time to collision (TTC) refers to the time required for the vehicle to collide with the stationary obstacle obstructing the driving lane if it continues at its speed at the time it changes to the next lane completely.

    Good : no collision AND TTC >= 1.5 secondes Bad : collision or no collision AND TTC < 1.5 secondes

    Measured: 8 secondes after take-over request

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. EEG (electroencephalogram)

    Physiological parameter: EEG will be recorded and Alpha, theta and gamma activity will be analyzed in the waking EEG.

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  2. ECG (electrocardiogram)

    Physiological parameter : ECG recordings and heart rate variability based on time and frequency domain will be analyzed.

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  3. EMG (electromyogram)

    Physiological parameter : surface EMG will be recorded and Derive Average Rectified, derive Integrated Root and means Square EMG will be analyzed and EMG Frequency \& Power Analysis.

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  4. Electrodermal activity 1 (EDA)

    Physiological parameter : EDA will be recorded and skin conductance level analyzed.

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  5. Electrodermal activity 2 (EDA)

    Physiological parameter : EDA will be recorded and skin conductance response analyzed.

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  6. Respiration

    Physiological parameter : Respiratory frequency recorded

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  7. Physical activity

    Physiological parameter : Physical activity expressed in count/min

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  8. Eye tracking

    Physiological parameter :Eye tracking will be recorded and point of gaze, Perclos, blinks, diameters of pupils analyzed.

    Measured: during the 2 minutes before the take-over request, during take-over control and the 2 minutes after the take-over control

  9. Subjective driving take-over control quality: Visual analogic scale

    Visual analogue scale to assess subjective driving take-over control quality (Subjective scale).

    The scale ranges from 0 " bad" to 100 "good"

    Measured: 8 secondes after take-over request

  10. Subjective level of attention and distraction before take-over control request

    Visual analogue scale to assess subjective level of attention and distraction just before take-over control request The scale ranges from 0 "attentive" to 100 "inattentive"

    Measured: 8 secondes after take-over request

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of driving take-over behaviour (time frame: 8 secondes after take-over request). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Sep 2020.
