- Contemporary Models of Behavioural Adaptation

While the majority of papers published in traffic psychology after 2000 have been atheoretical (Glendon, 2011), the development of models aimed at describing driving behaviour and behavioural adaptation has not ceased. It could even be argued that there has been an increase in new models aimed at examining behavioural adaptation, especially in reference to adaptations to driver-assistance features (see Table 4.1). Examples of these include the driver in control (DiC) model (Hollnagel et al., 2003), the qualitative model of behavioural adaptation (Brown and Noy, 2004; Rudin-Brown and Parker, 2004), the situational control framework (Ljung Aust and Engström, 2011), and the unified model of driver behaviour (Oppenheim et al., 2010a,b).
