testing programs, including activities
related to new and emerging
technologies that impact, or that may
impact, motor vehicle safety. NHTSA
proposes to collect information from the
public regarding occupant/passenger
seat preference in Automated Driving
System-Dedicated Vehicles (ADS–DVs).
Adults aged 18 and older will
participate in an on-road study after

giving informed consent. Participants
will ride in one passenger vehicle and
two ADS–DVs on a closed test track.
Questionnaire data will be collected at
the beginning and end of participation
for each participant. Objective data will
be collected via the data acquisition
systems installed in each study vehicle.
The data from each participant will be

combined, stratified by demographic
information and analyzed.
There are four information collections
for the study. The (1) Eligibility
Questionnaire will be used to identify
eligible participants for this study;
results from this questionnaire will not
be kept or analyzed. Candidates who are
selected for the study will participate in
a single test-track experiment and will
complete two additional questionnaires
while participating in the experiment.
The (2) Demographic Questionnaire will
be used for description of the
participant sample (e.g., number of
males and females in the dataset, final
age range for all participants, and
driving experience range for all
participants). This is necessary to
compare the sample collected to the
general driving population. The (3)
objective data collected via data
acquisition systems installed in each
study vehicle during the test-track
experiment is necessary for collecting
information about participants’ seat
selection, any seat changes during the
ride, seat belt use, and how participants
interact with the HMI. The (4) Post
Experiment Questionnaire will be used
to analyze the perceptions and opinions
of ADS–DV technology within the
participant sample, as well as to gather
any comments regarding their seat
preference and seat belt use. This data
will be used to determine how and why
participants choose seating preferences
in ADS–DVs.

Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information

60-Day Notice

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration’s (NHTSA’s) mission is
to save lives, prevent injuries, and
reduce economic losses resulting from
motor vehicle crashes. ADS technology
is rapidly developing, and current
Federal motor vehicle safety standards
(FMVSS) and/or NHTSA guidance may
need to be adapted to ensure this
technology is deployed safely. Many of
NHTSA’s FMVSS focus on particular
seating positions and thus, changes in
seating preferences could impact those
FMVSS. This study will provide
NHTSA information about the seating
preferences of occupants in vehicles
that do not require a human driver in
the left front seat. Several safety
outcomes stem from occupant seating
preference, which may change in the
future as Automated Driving Systems
(ADS) change seating configurations and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001

the way people use vehicles. ADSDedicated Vehicles (ADS–DVs) are
vehicles that lack manually operated
driving controls, and therefore do not
require a human driver or occupant to
drive the vehicle or sit in the left front
seat (the ‘‘driver’s seat’’ in conventional
vehicles). In conventional vehicles,
there is the basic assumption that a
human will always be in the left front
seat while the vehicle is operating
because a human driver would be
necessary to operate those vehicles.
ADS–DVs provide the opportunity for
occupants to sit in any seat they choose
in the vehicle. It is currently unknown
where occupants may choose to sit
when riding in an ADS–DV. Moreover,
new seating configurations for
occupants of ADS–DVs may necessitate
changes to how and where information
is presented to occupants about their
responsibilities as occupants (e.g.,
closing doors, fastening seatbelts).
Furthermore, occupants will need a
human-machine interface (HMI) to
provide input that they are ready for the
ride to begin, or to request that the ride
stop. At present, no standardized or
otherwise commercially produced HMIs
exist for this purpose. Therefore, in
order to conduct the research, a
prototype HMI will be developed. The
two main goals for this study are to:
1. Describe the occupant distribution
for ADS–DVs (i.e., seating distribution).
2. Use the prototype HMI to evaluate
whether occupants would choose to
initiate a ride in an ADS–DV without a
seatbelt.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day comment period soliciting public
comments on the information collection
was published on March 7, 2022 (87 FR
12772). NHTSA received one comment
on the notice that did not address the
information collection request or the
seating preference study but instead
addressed vehicle and road user safety
in general. In addition to seeking public
comment, NHTSA and the research
team have publicized this study for a
number of years across industry and
consumer events. NHTSA has socialized
this study through various means
including discussion in the publicfacing Annual Modal Research Plan
FY2022–2023, discussion during the
NHTSA Research Portfolio Fall 2022
public meeting, inclusion in a
presentation at the 2021 SAE
Government Industry Meeting, and

discussion with industry stakeholders
through individual meetings and
association groups. Feedback regarding
the study was positive and supportive
and assistive in refinement of the study
including the human machine
interaction design and presentation.
Affected Public: Adults ages 18 and
older who meet eligibility criteria such
as holding a valid driver’s license and
having used a ride- sharing application
at least once in the past year.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
An expected total of up to 100
participants will be recruited to
participate in the study. It is estimated
that 200 respondents will be needed to
identify 100 eligible participants.
Frequency: One-time collection.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 268.
The eligibility questionnaire will have
a maximum of 28 questions and NHTSA
estimates it will take approximately 20
minutes to complete. Therefore, NHTSA
estimates the total time associated with
completing eligibility questionnaires to
be 67 hours (200 responses × 20 minutes
= 66.7 hours). Study Intake (reading
study information sheet and obtaining
participant consent, general study
instruction) is expected to take 10
minutes to complete. Both the
demographic and post-experiment
questionnaires will have a maximum of
20 questions and NHTSA estimates that
it will take each eligible participant 10
minutes to complete the demographic
questionnaire and 10 minutes to
complete the post-experiment
questionnaire. Therefore, NHTSA
estimates the total burden for Study
Intake to be 17 hours (100 responses ×
10 minutes = 16.67 hours), Demographic
Questionnaire to be 17 hours (100
responses × 10 minutes = 16.67 hours),
and the Post Experiment questionnaire
to be 17 hours (100 responses × 10
minutes = 16.67 hours). Study
participation (e.g., riding in study
vehicles on the test track) is expected to
take 90 minutes. The total burden hours
for study participation are calculated to
be 150 hours (100 responses × 90
minutes = 9,000 minutes = 150 hours).
Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total
burden hours for this information
collection to be 268 hours. Data
collection will take less than one year.
The table below shows the estimated
burden hours for this information
collection, which accounts for the
maximum number of expected
responses and drop-outs.

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and

respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
