ADAPTATION is the short name of 'Drivers' behavioural ADAPTATION over the time in response to ADAS use', which was a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) funded between 2010 and 2013 under the European Commission Call: FP7-PEOPLE-ITN-2008. The major objective of ADAPTATION was to improve the career perspectives of young researchers by taking part in a research programme aiming to investigating drivers' behavioural adaptation and its underlying processes over time in response to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use. Within ten PhD projects, accompanied by two post-doctoral projects, ADAPTATION has studied drivers' behavioural adaptation from an integrated perspective working towards an integrated theoretical model of behavioural adaptation.
