Intent-aware displays aim to simplify and expedite the task of selecting an icon displayed on an in-vehicle touchscreen via a free hand pointing gesture, thus, minimise the incurred effort and/or distractions. This is achieved by determining the user ...

This paper introduces a model integrating research on antecedents of safe and enjoyable interaction with highly automated advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It focuses on the psychological processes during the initial encounters with a system, ...

Self-driving cars have the potential to bring significant benefits to drivers and society at large. However, all envisaged scenarios are predicted to increase the risk of motion sickness. This will negatively affect user acceptance and uptake and hence ...

Historically detection of workload has been done through the use of subjective measures but new demands in research are driving interests to objective and immediate physiological measures. This paper is a look at some initial data from a study comparing ...

In-car conversations are transient and cannot be shared with others. We propose a method to stick in-car conversation into places by the recognition of multiple peoples' finger pointing gestures. We use a motion capture device to detect finger pointing ...

While deciding if it is possible to overtake a slower car, drivers have to take several factors into account. Accident statistics show that many drivers make mistakes in this sit-uation. We want to assist drivers during lane change deci-sion without ...

Research has shown the negative effects of emotions on driving performance and safety, whereas a small number of neuroimaging studies has been conducted to investigate a driver's brain activities while driving with emotions. This study aims to explore ...

How will pedestrians and cyclists interact with self-driving cars when there is no human driver? To find answers to this question we need a secure experimental design in which pedestrians can interact with a car that appears to drive on its own. In ...

From the earliest concepts of autonomous cars, a prototypical model has emerged in which occupants freely orient themselves to engage in non-driving activities. This new environment prompts questions about how car occupants will actually sit, what ...

Based on existing LED traffic light interfaces, this paper evaluates the possibilities of increasing user experience for car drivers by displaying the remaining time of a red phase. Fifteen design approaches were conceived and im-plemented. Five of them ...

The road environment can be seen as a social situation and road user safety can be viewed as not just skills-based and rule-governed. Numerous studies show that intentional driving violations make an independent significant contribution to traffic ...

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems have several operational modes. Drivers may be unaware of the mode where they are operating, which can cause traffic crashes. To suppress mode confusion, we developed a new interface design methodology in which the ...

As the chassis of cars become more robust, the pillars of a car become broader in order to increase driver safety. As A-pillars grow wider, so too does their negative affect on the panoramic view of the driver and with a smaller field of vision, the ...

Bright sunlight impairing the vision of a vehicle's driver is a problem every driver faces regularly. This paper describes an approach of how to solve this particular issue. Our goal is to design a system which reduces the blinding effects of bright ...

Highly automated driving enables the driver to engage in activities other than the actual primary driving task. How can truck drivers use phases of highly automated driving meaningfully? Research in the domain of long-distance road haulage shows that ...

An adaptive recommendation service can reduce driver distraction through reducing the amount of operation steps needed to call a function. It learns the routine user behavior of the driver related to a situation and supports the driver with this ...

To reduce visual and biomechanical distractions when drivers interact with in-vehicle systems of the central console, we propose a new driver interface approach that integrates on-wheel gesture control and head-up display. We then verify its ...

The study at hand evaluates if and how perception of haptic pulse feedback provided by an accelerator pedal in a stationary car differs dependent on the shoe type (herein safety boots and plimsolls) or the age and gender of the participant. Intermediate ...

Statistics show that safety distance violation is a major cause of traffic accidents with reasons including high vol-ume of traffic, aggressive driving, inattention/distraction and, in particular, an underestimation of braking distances at certain ...

Autonomous vehicle will change the user behavior completely; therefore, needs for exploring the user's future experience in the autonomous environment are required. The objective of our study is to explore the direction of design of autonomous vehicle ...

Well-established self-reporting methods in HCI such as the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) prove rather limited for sampling in-car experiences, as they distract the driver from the primary task of driving. In this work we present eMotion, a mobile ...

Front-seat passengers can support drivers in navigational tasks, e.g., by giving instructions where to drive. Investigating the success of such collaborative navigation in the driving simulator is a challenge, as suitable navigation tasks are needed. ...

Increasing the operating distance (range) and, in particular, the accuracy of charge state/remaining range displays is very important for battery electrical vehicles (BEVs) to gain market penetration and satisfy customers. Battery drain of BEVs is ...

In the future autonomous vehicles will drive on our roads. It is unlikely that we will immediately move from manual to fully autonomous vehicles, instead the mix will change over time and include a large number of semi-autonomous vehicles. As a result ...

This research examined, as an exploratory secondary analysis, the frequency of lane departure warnings in two commercially available vehicles and users' behavioral and physiological responses to the alarms. The two lane departure systems used different ...

In-Vehicle Displays (IVDs) have the potential to reduce fuel consumption rates (FCR), thus reducing emissions from in-use vehicles. This project is one of the first to simultaneously explore the impact of IVDs and driver training on both fuel ...

In-vehicle systems, from infotainment to head up displays, increasingly make use of telemetry data obtained from the vehicle (e.g., speed, location, brake pedal state). Researchers must carefully study the design and use of these dynamic systems to ...

A driver's situation awareness (SA) while on the road is a critical factor in his or her ability to make decisions to avoid hazards, plan routes and maintain safe travel. Understanding SA can therefore be a great help when designing or evaluating new ...
