Abstract Due to the argued benefits of passenger comfort, cost savings, and road safety, bus sector is showing increasing interest in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Despite this growth ADAS fact that work tasks are sometimes complicated (especially docking at bus-stops which may occur several hundred times per shift), there has been little research into buses. Therefore, aim study was develop further knowledge how professional drivers experience accept an can help them dock bus-stops. The conducted on a public route industrial area with five different Ten got use narrow navigation system (NNS) could automatically participants’ acceptance were investigated using objective as well subjective data (during after test-drive) collected interviews, questionnaires, video recordings. participants indicated high levels trust NNS felt it had multiple terms cognitive physical ergonomics, comfort. However, relatively slow process (which deemed comfortable) also expected negatively affect, e.g., timetabling, possibly resulting stress levels. when investigating users’ context, important consider operation, use, those interact affect each other.
