Assessing Alternative Approaches for Conveying Automated Vehicle ‘Intentions’
The project will focus on the development and evaluation of an augmented reality interface integrated into a dynamic HMI intended to increase situational awareness of the driving system and environment. Users will experience the enhanced HMI system in a transit-like, automated vehicle across realistic scenarios while gauging situational awareness, response selection, response performance, and comfort. As a secondary focus, the project will explore different emergency stop mechanisms for the automated vehicle, of which the user has full control, in the event that there is a system failure in either the vehicle’s control or sensing mechanisms.
