The results of a transport telematic acceptance assessment, a questionnaire designed by van der
Laan, Heino, and de Waard, 1996, and usability assessments are reported. These two metrics gauge
users’ perceived satisfaction and usefulness of the STC system. The results of this assessment are
identified as Transport and Telematic Acceptance Assessment in the results section of this report. In
this assessment, parents and teens were presented with a series of questions that assessed their
perceptions of trust in STC relative to factors such as safety reliability, and their confidence in the
system (identified as “Trust discussions” in the results section of this report). Both parents and teens
discussed general reactions to the STC and potential improvements (identified as teen and parent
attitudes and safety in the results section of this report). Parents also discussed their impressions of
the system, provided recommendations for the STC and addressed if they would pay for a STC
system and how much, and whether the STC was an invasion of privacy (identified as parent
29
unstructured discussions in the Results section of this report). Common themes were grouped
together for both teens and parents.
