Influencing Parameters for the Development of Adaptive HMIs & Requirements for the Categorization of Control Functions Generated via Expert Knowledge

The continuing trend towards increasing functional diversity in control systems represents a major challenge for the development of human-machine interfaces, short HMI. This contribution provides expert knowledge in the topics of the development of HMIs, explicitly adaptive HMIs. The focus is on the used methods and their deficits. Parameters that are influencing HMI development are presented. This expertise is generated using the Delphi method. In addition, the common practice and estimations for the categorization of two operating technologies are investigated. Specifically, this concerns the optimal allocation of machine functions to either touch-based operating systems or haptic operating systems. These results form the basis for the development of a methodology that provides a special development process for adaptive HMIs, which focuses on a high user experience and usability.
