Important results from the project
The objective of the project has been to generate the design principles, test methods and prototypes necessary to concretely understand what constitutes good HMI (Human-Machine Interaction) design for automated vehicles. The focus has been on: Driver behaviour in automation, user expectations on autonomous driving and HMI for autonomous driving.
Expected long term effects
The project has given fundamental knowledge in understanding what constitutes good HMI design for automated vehicles, in terms of what aspects to take into consideration in the design of HMI for AD. In addition, new innovative research methods and explorative HMI solutions have been developed.
Approach and implementation
The project started with identifying theoretical foundations regarding driver behaviour in automation - a literature review was conducted and two studies focusing on an existing semi-autonomous system were performed and a conceptual framework was implemented. The project also used several different approaches to explore user expectations on autonomous driving. The projects has been explorative to its character, and has included design and test of different HMI for autonomous driving. A research car with the possibility to test different aspects of HMI for AD has been developed.
