Abstract
Level 3 automated driving systems involve the continuous performance of the driving task by artificial intelligence within set environmental conditions, such as a straight highway. The driver's role in Level 3 is to resume responsibility of the driving task in response to any departure from these conditions. As automation increases, a driver's attention may divert towards non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs), making transitions of control between the system and user more challenging. Safety features such as physiological monitoring thus become important with increasing vehicle automation. However, to date there has been no attempt to synthesise the evidence for the effect of NDRT engagement on drivers' physiological responses in Level 3 automation. A comprehensive search of the electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and IEEE Explore will be conducted. Empirical studies assessing the effect of NDRT engagement on at least one physiological parameter during Level 3 automation, in comparison with a control group or baseline condition will be included. Screening will take place in two stages, and the process will be outlined within a PRISMA flow diagram. Relevant physiological data will be extracted from studies and analysed using a series of meta-analyses by outcome. A risk of bias assessment will also be completed on the sample. This review will be the first to appraise the evidence for the physiological effect of NDRT engagement during Level 3 automation, and will have implications for future empirical research and the development of driver state monitoring systems.
