description: How do we measure the success of prioritisation processes? What more do we need to learn in this field?The Matching Q-M tool!This is a post from a living literature review project called Good Questions Review. It was originally posted on another site on 13 February 2025, but it has been migrated to Bridges to maintain persistent links to versions of record. The latest posts from the project can be found on https://www.monash.edu/msdi/research/good-questions-review/ and their versions of record are deposited here on Monash University's Bridges system.See document for text.Good Questions Review explores emerging insights about how social science research can be more useful for making decisions. Articles will be guided by at least one of the following questions:What are the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches we currently identify, develop, and prioritise questions and set research agendas?What makes "good" questions in the social sciences for policy and program impact? How is this changing? How should it change?Who writes "good" questions? In what conditions and with what skills? Who needs to be involved for better questions addressing complex social issues?This Good Questions Review post was written by Paul Kellner in his role as Research Fellow at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute through support from Open Philanthropy.

description: We work out the truncation from maximal to half-maximal supergravity in four dimensions. In particular, we determine the explicit constraints on the embedding tensors of both theories. These tensors specify the complete theories, including gauge groups and scalar potentials. Firstly, we find the linear constraint on N=8 theories to allow for a truncation to N=4. Secondly, we determine the additional N=4 quadratic constraints following from N=8. Finally, we comment on a brane interpretation as tadpole conditions for the latter.

description: Lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are among the most familiar insects; many species are of economic importance, but their diversity in the tropics is poorly known. We aimed to contribute to the knowledge of the lady beetle fauna of the Yucatan Peninsula, particularly for Quintana Roo state. We used an integrative approach for species identification, comparing classical morphological identifications and quick automated methods for species delimitation using DNA barcode sequences. Through a literature review and a survey of lady beetles in gardens in Quintana Roo, we further provide an updated list of the species found on the Yucatan Peninsula. Out of the 40 species delimited in our study, 34 are new reports for the peninsula, and 36 are new for Quintana Roo state. Overall, 62 species of lady beetles are now recorded for the entire region, including three exotics: the invasive Harmonia axyridis, Chilocorus nigrita, and Delphastus catalinae. Our study also contributed to public reference libraries with 110 barcode sequences for the tropics belonging to 34 delineated species. We showed that cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) sequences can be useful for lady beetle species delimitation and that the Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery algorithm (ABGD) was the best method, complementing the number of initially delineated morphospecies. The Barcode Index Number (BIN) approach overestimated seven putative species due to the splitting of conspecifics, while the ABGD method suggested two additional MOTUs at a prior intraspecific distance of 0.059. Combined molecular and morphological data in our study revealed one additional putative species of Diomus, initially considered a tentative colour variation. Our study exemplifies how molecular methods paired with classical taxonomy can efficiently assist in delineating species when descriptions and identification keys are unavailable and highlights the possible great richness of coccinellid species awaiting exploration and description on the Yucatan Peninsula.

description: We consider a symmetric, finite-range contact process with two types of infection; both have the same (supercritical) infection rate and heal at rate 1, but sites infected by Infection 1 are immune to Infection 2. We take the initial configuration where sites in $(-\infty,0]$ have Infection 1 and sites in $[1,\infty)$ have Infection 2, then consider the process $ρ_t$ defined as the size of the interface area between the two infections at time $t$. We show that the distribution of $ρ_t$ is tight, thus proving a conjecture posed by Cox and Durrett in [Bernoulli 1 (1995) 343--370].

description: We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on strong-field ionization of a three-dimensionally oriented asymmetric top molecule, benzonitrile (C$_7$H$_5$N), by circularly polarized, nonresonant femtosecond laser pulses. Prior to the interaction with the strong field, the molecules are quantum-state selected using a deflector, and 3-dimensionally (3D) aligned and oriented adiabatically using an elliptically polarized laser pulse in combination with a static electric field. A characteristic splitting in the molecular frame photoelectron momentum distribution reveals the position of the nodal planes of the molecular orbitals from which ionization occurs. The experimental results are supported by a theoretical tunneling model that includes and quantifies the splitting in the momentum distribution. The focus of the present article is to understand strong-field ionization from 3D-oriented asymmetric top molecules, in particular the suppression of electron emission in nodal planes of molecular orbitals. In the preceding article [Dimitrovski et al., Phys. Rev. A 83, 023405 (2011)] the focus is to understand the strong-field ionization of one-dimensionally-oriented polar molecules, in particular asymmetries in the emission direction of the photoelectrons.

The role of glutamine homeostasis in the middle-aged liver
Creators: name: Sayrany, Melody
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Age-related diseases encompass confounding biological insults, some of which are related to dysregulated amino acid and lipid metabolism. Glutamine is one of the most abundant and vital amino acid for cellular processes that is depleted during conditions of stress and aging. Besides glutamine, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism is also altered in aging. However, their inter-relationship in the context of the liver is unknown. My project was to investigate the effects of glutamine supplementation and lipid metabolism in middle-aged mouse livers. To this end, we selected a mouse deficient in fatty acid elongase 5 (Elovl5), with impaired PUFA bioconversion and another mouse deficient in endonuclease G (EndoG), which stays protected in aging due to a lack of endonuclease activity and attenuation of mitochondrial DNA breakdown. My first objective was to identify said relationship in middle-aged livers of Elovl5 and EndoG heterozygous mice by feeding glutamine or alanine, while keeping C57/Bl6 mice (wild type, WT) as controls (Chapter 2). We show that glutamine supplementation does not affect gene expressions of glutamine-related metabolic (glutaminase 2, glutamine synthase, and glutamine dehydrogenase), or PUFA bioconversion (fatty acid desaturase 1/2 and Elovl5), enzymes in WT, and they were decreased in EndoG+/- mice livers. In contrast, glutamine supplemented Elovl5+/- mice livers showed upregulated gene expressions for both. For my second objective in Chapter 3, we determined the impact of glutamine or alanine on inflammation and mitochondrial biogenesis markers in the same livers. Glutamine-fed WT mice demonstrated no change while EndoG+/- showed a decrease in gene expressions of pro-inflammatory or mitochondrial biogenesis markers. Elovl5+/- mice on the other hand, demonstrated increased gene expression both inflammation and mitochondrial biogenesis markers. Given the fact that Elovl5+/- livers had increased levels of lipogenic as well as inflammatory and mitochondrial biogenesis genes with glutamine, such results indicate that glutamine supplementation is probably harmful for the liver at an advanced age with existing metabolic defects but might be neutral or beneficial in healthier phenotypes. Overall, these results contribute to understanding the relationships between glutamine, lipid metabolism, and aging in middle-aged mouse livers.
Areas of endemism and conservation status of Galianthe species (Spermacoceae, Rubiaceae) in the Neotropics

description: Areas of endemism are a standard unit of biogeography and are commonly used for analytical biogeographic analyses as a criterion to identify areas for conservation. Galianthe is a genus of 56 species of mainly herbaceous plants from the family Rubiaceae found in the Neotropics, occurring in campos rupestres (quartzitic rock outcrops), cerrado (savanna), lowland grasslands, campos de altitude (highland grasslands), sasonally dry tropical forests (caatinga vegetation), and savanna hillsides. Currently, the conservation status assessment is only known for eleven species of Galianthe, and there have been no previous attempts to identify areas of endemism for the genus. In view of this, we used the NDM/VNDM software to analyze the distribution of the 56 species of Galianthe to identify areas of endemism and to recognize which species define each area. We also evaluated the conservation status of forty-five species for first time, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) guidelines. Our finding identified 12 areas of endemism with three cell sizes, mainly in the eastern part of Paraguay and southern Brazil. Illustrating the general biodiversity crisis, 41% of the Galianthe species (23 spp.), were evaluated as Endangered due to their degree of endemism and destruction of their habitat, while 31 species were evaluated as not threatened and two species had Insufficient Data. In turn, only five threatened species were found within or on the periphery of protected areas. We consider that although protected areas are designed to protect biodiversity, in recent decades they have experienced different degrees of threat. Due to the high risk of many species of the genus, it is necessary to consider restoration (as a complement to conservation) of the processes that maintain grasslands to conserve unique, endemic and threatened species.
The flare model for X-ray variability of NGC 4258

description: We study the variability mechanism of active galactic nuclei (AGN) within the framework of the flare model. To this end we examine the case of Seyfert/LINER galaxy NGC 4258, which is observed at high inclination angle and exhibits rapid fluctuations of the X-ray light curve. We construct a model light curve based on the assumption of magnetic flares localized in the equatorial plane and orbiting with Keplerian speed at each given radius. We calculate the level of variability as a function of the inclination of an observer, taking into account all effects of general relativity near a rotating supermassive black hole. The variability level is a monotonic function of the source inclination. It rises more rapidly for larger values of the black hole spin (Kerr parameter) and for steeper emissivity (index beta of the radial profile). We compare the expected level of variability for the viewing angle 81.6 deg, as inferred for NGC 4258, with the case of moderate viewing angles about 30 deg, typical for Seyfert type-1 galaxies. Highly inclined sources such as this one are particularly suitable to test the flare model because the effects of orbital motion, Doppler boosting and light bending are all expected to have maximum when the accretion disk is seen almost edge-on. The model is consistent with the NGC 4258 variability, where the obscuring material is thought to be localized mainly towards the equatorial plane rather than forming a geometrically thick torus. Once the intrinsic time-scales of the flare duration are determined to better precision, this kind of highly inclined objects with a precisely known mass of the black hole can be used to set independent constraints on the spin parameter.

Cross helicity and turbulent magnetic diffusivity in the solar convection zone

description: In a density-stratified turbulent medium the cross helicity is considered as a result of the interaction of the velocity fluctuations and a large-scale magnetic field. By means of a quasilinear theory and by numerical simulations we find the cross helicity and the mean vertical magnetic field anti-correlated. In the high-conductivity limit the ratio of the helicity and the mean magnetic field equals the ratio of the magnetic eddy diffusivity and the (known) density scale height. The result can be used to predict that the cross helicity at the solar surface exceeds the value of 1 Gauss km/s. Its sign is anti-correlated with that of the radial mean magnetic field. Alternatively, we can use our result to determine the value of the turbulent magnetic diffusivity from observations of the cross helicity.

(2023) Audit market measures in audit pricing studies: The issue of mechanical correlation. European Accounting Review. The paper shows that in audit pricing studies, the audit market measures derived from the firm-level audit fee are endogenous by construction. This means that their coefficients are biased. Using mathematical derivations, simulations and econometric analysis we explore the extent of the bias but also the bias associated with using the decoupled and size-based measures which are remedies frequently employed in the literature. For replication of the analysis using actual data, you'll need access to WRDS and Stata, version 16 or above. For replication of the simulations, you'll need Stata, version 16 or above. To run the interactive tool, you'll need RStudio. The details of the replication are explained in the paper in Appendix D.

description: Common operational understanding among engaged emergency responders is facilitated through shared operational pictures during crisis situations. Sharing is typically achieved through interactive tools, either desktop or web-based, in which map displays play an essential role. That role can be further strengthened if (1) agreed emergency symbols that are used in map-based interactive tools are sufficient to encode multifaceted operational information visually; and (2) the symbols are legible and meaningful for the diverse users of those tools. The authors revisited official emergency map symbols in use in Norway and reconsidered them against current requirements. To this end, they first conducted several meetings with stakeholders to elicit adequate revision requirements. Next, the reconsideration included the extension of the symbol set, symbol modification, and grouping. After the reconsideration, emergency management officers and specialists were interviewed. The interviews confirmed the agreement with the symbol categorization, extension of the symbols, and their modifications. The interviewees also made numerous suggestions to be considered in a follow-up study. Moreover, two concepts – symbol standardization and symbol harmonization – were proposed.

description: Research findings on language comprehension suggest that many kinds of non-linguistic cues can rapidly affect language processing. Extant processing accounts of situated language comprehension model these rapid effects and are only beginning to accommodate the role of non-linguistic emotional, cues. To begin with a detailed characterization of distinct cues and their relative effects, three visual-world eye-tracking experiments assessed the relative importance of two cue types (action depictions vs. emotional facial expressions) as well as the effects of the degree of naturalness of social (facial) cues (smileys vs. natural faces). We predicted to replicate previously reported rapid effects of referentially mediated actions. In addition, we assessed distinct world-language relations. If how a cue is conveyed matters for its effect, then a verb referencing an action depiction should elicit a stronger immediate effect on visual attention and language comprehension than a speaker's emotional facial expression. The latter is mediated non-referentially via the emotional connotations of an adverb. The results replicated a pronounced facilitatory effect of action depiction (relative to no action depiction). By contrast, the facilitatory effect of a preceding speaker's emotional face was less pronounced. How the facial emotion was rendered mattered in that the emotional face effect was present with natural faces (Experiment 2) but not with smileys (Experiment 1). Experiment 3 suggests that contrast, i.e., strongly opposing emotional valence information vs. non-opposing valence information, might matter for the directionality of this effect. These results are the first step toward a more principled account of how distinct visual (social) cues modulate language processing, whereby the visual cues that are referenced by language (the depicted action), copresent (the depicted action), and more natural (the natural emotional prime face) tend to exert more pronounced effects.

description: We summarize the known obstructions to subfactors with principal graphs which begin with a triple point. One is based on Jones's quadratic tangles techniques, although we apply it in a novel way. The other two are based on connections techniques; one due to Ocneanu, and the other previously unpublished, although likely known to Haagerup. We then apply these obstructions to the classification of subfactors with index below 5. In particular, we eliminate three of the five families of possible principal graphs called "weeds" in the classification from arXiv:1007.1730.

description: We study admittance and energy dissipation in an out-of-equlibrium single electron box. The system consists of a small metallic island coupled to a massive reservoir via single tunneling junction. The potential of electrons in the island is controlled by an additional gate electrode. The energy dissipation is caused by an AC gate voltage. The case of a strong Coulomb blockade is considered. We focus on the regime when electron coherence can be neglected but quantum fluctuations of charge are strong due to Coulomb interaction. We obtain the admittance under the specified conditions. It turns out that the energy dissipation rate can be expressed via charge relaxation resistance and renormalized gate capacitance even out of equilibrium. We suggest the admittance as a tool for a measurement of the bosonic distribution corresponding collective excitations in the system.

description: Studying migration over a long period is challenging due to lack of data, uneven data quality, and the methodological challenges that arise when analyzing migration over large geographic areas and long time spans with constantly changing political boundaries. Crowd-sourced family tree data are an untapped source of volunteered geographic information generated by millions of users. These trees contain information on individuals such as birth and death places and years, and kinship ties, and have the potential to support analysis of population dynamics and migration over many generations and far into the past. In this article, we introduce a methodology to measure and map long-term changes in migration flows using a population-scale family-tree data set. Our methodology includes many steps such as extracting migration events, temporal periodization, gravity normalization, and producing time-series flow maps. We study internal migration in the continental United States between 1789 and 1924 using birthplaces and birthyears of children from a cleaned, geocoded, and connected set of family trees from Rootsweb.com. To the best of our knowledge, the results are the first migration flow maps that show how the internal migration flows within the U.S. changed over such a long period of time (i.e. 135 years).
On collisional capture rates of irregular satellites around the gas-giant planets and the minimum mass of the solar nebula

description: We investigated the probability that an inelastic collision of planetesimals within the Hill sphere of the Jovian planets could explain the presence and orbits of observed irregular satellites. Capture of satellites via this mechanism is highly dependent on not only the mass of the protoplanetary disk, but also the shape of the planetesimal size distribution. We performed 2000 simulations for integrated time intervals $\sim 2$ Myr and found that, given the currently accepted value for the minimum mass solar nebula and planetesimal number density based upon the \citet{Nesvorny2003} and \citet{Charnoz2003} size distribution $dN \sim D^{-3.5} dD$, the collision rates for the different Jovian planets range between $\sim 0.6$ and $\gtrsim 170 \, \Myr^{-1}$ for objects with radii, $1 \, \km \le r \le 10 \, \km$. Additionally, we found that the probability that these collisions remove enough orbital energy to yield a bound orbit was $\lesssim 10^{-5}$ and had very little dependence on the relative size of the planetesimals. Of these collisions, the collision energy between two objects was $\gtrsim 10^3$ times the gravitational binding energy for objects with radii $\sim 100$ km. We find that, capturing irregular satellites via collisions between unbound objects can only account for $\sim 0.1%$ of the observed population, hence can this not be the sole method of producing irregular satellites.

title: Stratified Security Communities: Transatlantic Distrust and Identity Divergence
Creators: name: Herr, Afra Maike
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: With mounting pressure by the United States directly and through their strategic shift and slow abdication of leadership towards Asia and away from the transatlantic community, European states have growing incentive to cooperate more strongly and integrate their defense and security efforts. The absence of such a trend of integration points to internal barriers to growing cooperation countering the external dynamic. Utilizing the theory of security communities, this thesis explores German, French, and British understanding of leadership, defense, and their respective public opinions. Focusing on the security identities of all three nations and their visions for the community as well as defense interests, it is clear that these are too divergent to allow any of the three nations to take-over the position of core state within the security community, despite their economic, military, and political size and power. This leads to the conclusion that security communities function without mutual shared trust and congruent identity through a system of stratification.

description: Consider a compact Riemannian manifold M of dimension n whose boundary \partial M is totally geodesic and is isometric to the standard sphere S^{n-1}. A natural conjecture of Min-Oo asserts that if the scalar curvature of M is at least n(n-1), then M is isometric to the hemisphere S_+^n equipped with its standard metric. This conjecture is inspired by the positive mass theorem in general relativity, and has been verified in many special cases. In this paper, we construct counterexamples to Min-Oo's conjecture in dimension n \geq 3.

description: The suggestion that we occupy a privileged position near the centre of a large, nonlinear, and nearly spherical void has recently attracted much attention as an alternative to dark energy. Putting aside the philosophical problems with this scenario, we perform the most complete and up-to-date comparison with cosmological data. We use supernovae and the full cosmic microwave background spectrum as the basis of our analysis. We also include constraints from radial baryonic acoustic oscillations, the local Hubble rate, age, big bang nucleosynthesis, the Compton y-distortion, and for the first time include the local amplitude of matter fluctuations, σ_8. These all paint a consistent picture in which voids are in severe tension with the data. In particular, void models predict a very low local Hubble rate, suffer from an "old age problem", and predict much less local structure than is observed.

description: The peculiar object P/2010 A2 was discovered by the LINEAR near-Earth asteroid survey in January 2010 and given a cometary designation due to the presence of a trail of material, although there was no central condensation or coma. The appearance of this object, in an asteroidal orbit (small eccentricity and inclination) in the inner main asteroid belt attracted attention as a potential new member of the recently recognized class of 'Main Belt Comets' (MBCs). If confirmed, this new object would greatly expand the range in heliocentric distance over which MBCs are found. Here we present observations taken from the unique viewing geometry provided by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft, far from the Earth, that demonstrate that the trail is due to a single event rather than a period of cometary activity, in agreement with independent results from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The trail is made up of relatively large particles of millimetre to centimetre size that remain close to the parent asteroid. The shape of the trail can be explained by an initial impact ejecting large clumps of debris that disintegrated and dispersed almost immediately. We determine that this was an asteroid collision that occurred around February 10, 2009.

Characterization of deformed or separated XP instruments after clinical retreatment of molar teeth - a multicenter experience
Creators: name: Shabehpour, Kiarash
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Objectives: The present study examined the defect characteristics of clinically used, discarded nickel titanium rotary retreatment instruments, and analyzed the impact of clinical use on their metallurgical properties. Materials and methods: 92 XP Endo Shaper (XPS; FKG Dentaire) and 20 XP Endo Finisher-R (XPFR; FKG Dentaire) instruments with structural deformation or separation were collected from four specialty endodontic offices over a 20-month period. The types of defects and their relative locations were recorded. The lateral and fractured surfaces of the separated instruments were examined with scanning electron microscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the thermal behavior of new, as well as deformed and/or fractured instruments. Results: 77 (84%) XP Endo Shapers and 4 (20%) XP Endo Finisher-Rs had an area with structural deformation while 15 (16%) XP Endo Shapers and 16 (80%) XP Endo Finisher-Rs were fractured. All unfractured, deformed XP Endo Finisher-Rs showed unwinding close to the coronal end of the flute. Fractures in the XP Endo Shapers and XP Endo Finisher-Rs were often close to the coronal end of the flutes or the expanding segments of the instruments. Most of the XP Endo Shaper fractures were because of torsional failure (67%), while XP Endo Finisher-Rs failed predominantly by cyclic fatigue (81%). The austenite finishing temperature of XP Endo Finisher-R (40°C) was higher than that of XP Endo Shaper (35°C). Both XP Endo Shaper and XP Endo Finisher-R exhibited 2-stage phase transformation. Conclusion: Torsional failure was more prevalent in XP Endo Shaper instruments and fatigue failure was more prevalent in XP Endo Finisher-R instruments. Among the investigated instruments, XP Endo Finisher-Rs were more likely to separate without warning whereas XP Endo Shapers frequently exhibited plastic deformation. The latter may be used as a pre-separation forewarning sign during clinical retreatment. Clinical significance: The failure mode of XP Endo Shaper and XP Endo Finisher-R used clinically for retreatment, appeared to be different. Plastic deformation, the forewarning sign of instrument separation, occurs when XP Endo instruments are used for retreatment

description: Using ab-initio computational techniques on crystal determined clusters, we report on the similarities and differences of Al$_{50}$(C$_5$(CH$_3)_5)_{12}$, Ga$_{23}$(N(Si(CH$_3)_{3}$)$_{2}$)$_{11}$, and Au$_{102}$(SC$_7$O$_2$H$_5$)$_{44}$ ligand-protected clusters. Each of the ligand-protected clusters in this study show the similar stable character which can be described via a electronic shell model. We show here that the same type of analysis leads consistently to derive a superatomic electronic counting rule, independently of the metal and ligand compositions. One can define the cluster core as the set of atoms where delocalized single-angular-momentum-character orbitals have hight weight using a combination of Bader analysis and the evaluation of Khon-Sham orbitals. Subsequently one can derive the nature of the ligand-core interaction. These results yield further insight into the superatom analogy for the class of ligand-protected metal clusters.
Advances in Coastal Flood Risk Analysis

description: Much work has been done to advance the state of risk-informed decision-making to protect against coastal flooding. The state of the art as practiced in the state of Louisiana, the Coastal Louisiana Risk Assessment Model (CLARA) characterizes flood risk driven by surge and waves from tropical storms as a random process and estimates the distribution of flood depths and resulting economic damage. This dissertation identifies three key limitations of coastal flood risk assessment as applied to the state of Louisiana, proposes methods to address them, and demonstrates each method in a case study. The first limitation identified is that the CLARA model addresses surge- and wave-driven flood hazard but does not account for rainfall-driven and riverine hazard. To address this limitation, chapter 2 presents an extension of the methods used in CLARA developed as part of the Louisiana Watershed Initiative which permits characterization of compound hazard consisting of surge, rainfall, and riverine hazard from tropical cyclones. The second limitation identified is that due to its computational cost CLARA is used in Louisiana’s 2023 Coastal Master Plan to evaluate pre-specified and static flood risk mitigation projects over a small set of possible future landscapes; it would be preferable to use an optimization-driven approach to generate efficient and adaptive combinations of projects which balance performance across a diverse set of possible future landscapes. To address this limitation, chapter 3 presents an analysis applying a spatially narrower but computationally inexpensive model based on CLARA called the SWaMPS model to a case study to determine the extent to which optimization-based adaptive mitigation strategies which respond to observed climate change trajectories can outperform similar static strategies. The third and final limitation identified is that while the most recent iteration of the CLARA model can support algorithmic optimization of cost-effectiveness of building-level mitigation strategies such as retrofits to increase the first floor elevation of single-family residences, the principal metric historically used in flood risk mitigation is reduction in economic damage measured in dollars, the optimization of which on the level of individual buildings would implicitly prioritize expensive structures and therefore may neglect impoverished neighborhoods. Chapter 4 addresses this limitation with a proposed alternative efficiency metric which treats individual homes as equally valuable, the optimization of which results in greater investment in impoverished neighborhoods without explicitly targeting final expected damage distributions or individual groups.
Quelle formation pour les conducteurs de véhicules autonomes ?

description: Dans ce papier, nous présentons une revue de littérature visant à engager une réflexion sur la place de la formation dans l’usage des systèmes de conduite autonome. La présence sur le marché de systèmes d’aide à la conduite de type ADAS, puis dans un futur proche de systèmes plus avancés de délégation de conduite, interroge l’apprentissage et la prise en main de ces systèmes par les conducteurs. En France, il n’existe pas encore de formation spécifique pour l’usage de ces systèmes hormis la présence de notices de fonctionnement, de vidéos explicatives ou parfois de transmission orale de la part des vendeurs de concessions automobiles. Pour apprendre à utiliser ces systèmes les conducteurs agissent donc en essai-erreur directement dans l’environnement routier. L’arrivée des véhicules de niveaux 3 et 4 (selon la taxonomie SAE), modifie le paradigme de conduite manuelle classique. Les conducteurs vont alors coopérer activement avec le système autonome, ce qui amène les constructeurs et les pouvoirs publics à se pencher sur la question de la formation (ex : projet de Loi d’Orientation des Mobilités). Après avoir présenté quelques éléments relatifs à la formation à la conduite manuelle classique, nous présentons des études portant sur l’utilisation et la formation des ADAS et niveau 2, puis des systèmes à délégation de conduite (niveaux 3 et 4).
