![]() University of Alberta professor in psychology and neuroscience Anthony Singhal is leading a team of researchers on the project. "It's the first one to do a live trial in a natural environment not controlled in a simulator on a track and so that makes this study extremely valuable." "This is a ground-breaking study," said Singhal. Singhal and his team will look at a number of variables including baseline driving in a single truck without any automation, in a single truck with automation and then in the platooning system with automation so they can make all of the comparisons. They want to know what's physically happening to the driver in each situation. "So we're using psychophysiological measures, we're going to collect their brainwaves, their heart rate data, their eye movement data while they're driving in this platooning system," said Singhal. ![]() ![]() The Cooperative Truck Platooning System (CTPS) trials will provide data on evolving driver automation and is funded by Transport Canada.
