Processed Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Anonymized processed data from the Non-Emergency Notification Timing in Autonomous Vehicles study. This dataset depository is part of the Non-Emergency Notification Timing in Autonomous Vehicles artifact collection: 10.1184/R1/c.7894613.The goal of this study is to investigate the best moment to send AV occupants in non-emergency notifications when they are engaged in non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs).This archive contains data collected through a series of user study sessions in an autonomous vehicle simulator. On four different days, the participants experienced a simulated AV commute and completed four different non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs): Task of Choice (denoted as Scenario 1), Gaming (S2), Video Watching (S3), and Reading (S4). For the latter three scenarios, the tasks were completed on an Android tablet. The order of the latter three scenarios was also randomized.While completing NDRTs, participants were instructed to respond to an audio signal with gradually increasing volume. Participants would say "yes" or "good" if they thought they were available for non-emergency notifications upon hearing the signal; they would say "no" or "bad" otherwise. In this way, the participants provided labels for the data stream around the moment when the signal went off.For more details about the content of this dataset, please refer to README.txt. A video demonstration of the procedure can be found at 10.1184/R1/29396957. The video also presents multiple samples of our complete video stream data. Supplementary figures showcasing the data collection setup can be found at 10.1184/R1/29372027.---Due to certain terms in our consent form, at this moment, we are unable to publicly share video data containing identifiable information of the participants -- video streams containing participants' faces and their own devices are excluded from this archive. The video demonstration mentioned above contains sample video data from all available camera angles.
This public dataset contains the following for each participant in each session:(note: files with names in brackets [*] are not accessible to the public; many files have "before_" or "after_" suffixes, which means the file spans [t-20s, t] or [t, t+20s], respectively; t is the time of each signal onset)
