One of these is related to capacity management, as such shuttles are often smaller (usually from 6 to 12 seats) with limited capacities to (re-)assign seating, control reservations, or arrange travels for groups that exceed a shuttle’s capacity. Since a bus driver is missing, passengers need to resolve conflicts or uncertainties on their own, unless additional systems provide such support. In this paper, we present the results from a laboratory study, in which we investigated passenger needs in relation to booking and reserving spots (seats, standing spots, and strollers) in an automated shuttle. We found that such functionalities have a low-to-medium impact on an overall scale but could constitute exclusion criteria for more vulnerable parts of the population, such as older adults, families with small children, or physically impaired individuals.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127477517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by regulations currently being implemented that will require EVs and hybrid vehicles (HVs) to play synthetic sound, we used a Wizard-of-Oz AV setup to explore how adding synthetic engine sound to a hybrid autonomous vehicle (AV) will influence how pedestrians interact with the AV in a naturalistic field study. Pedestrians reported increased interaction quality and clarity of intent of the vehicle to yield compared to a baseline condition without any added sound. These findings suggest that synthetic engine sound will not only be effective at helping pedestrians to hear EVs, but also may help AV developers implicitly signal to pedestrians when the vehicle will yield.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"02 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130437266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complementary to a previous literature review on requirements for Human-Machine Interface for unmanned systems, we conducted two (N = 18, N = 10) user studies. To ascertain the views of the users, we employed two methodologies, in-depth interviews, and traditional statistical analysis to find out specific preferences. We collected a total of 80 statements that we could cluster over 12 categories, presenting a comprehensive overview of SA user requirements. The research is envisioned to be used by others as a tool to help the development of AV teleoperation-based interfaces.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134456880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automated valet parking (AVP) is one of them, which could be implemented almost immediately. Vehicles with AVP feature are able to drive independently in the parking garage and find/occupy a free parking space. However, a better understanding of public’s opinion on this service is needed. In this paper, we present the findings from an exploratory interview study on public’s opinion of automated valet parking. Results suggest that the main benefits from the user perspective are clearly practical in nature (time saving, efficient use of parking lots), but are mitigated by emotional concerns (feeling of uncertainty, loss of control). We therefore conclude that these concerns must be addressed to ultimately ensure automated valet parking’s success and benefits in society.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133367999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated the influence of anger on drivers’ takeover reaction time and quality, with varying urgency of auditory takeover request displays. Using a driving simulator, 36 participants experienced takeover scenarios in a semi-automated vehicle with a secondary task (game). Higher frequency and more repetitions of the auditory displays led to faster takeover reaction times, but there was no difference between angry and neutral drivers. For takeover quality, angry drivers drove faster, took longer to change lanes and had lower steering wheel angles than neutral drivers, which made riskier driving. Results are discussed with the necessity of affect research and display design guidelines in automated vehicles.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125606935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies show that even the syntactic form of system output has an influence on the driver and his driving performance. Against this background, in this paper we present our user-centered approach for a user- and situation-adaptive strategy for the syntactic design of voice output. Based on the collected data of two user studies, we combine the two aspects of speech production and perception and compare actual language behaviour with syntactic preferences. The resulting strategy will be evaluated and elaborate further in future user studies.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124998547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the demand for a user-friendly approach to measuring drivers’ body statuses has become more intense. In this Work-In-Progress, we present Face2Multi-modal, an In-vehicle multi-modal Data Streams Predictors through facial expressions only.

However, comparative studies have tended to select gestures and haptic sensations based either on experimental convenience or to conform with existing interfaces, and thus may have fallen short on realising their full potential. Aiming to design and validate an exemplar set of ultrasonic, mid-air haptic icons (“ultrahapticons”), a participatory design exercise was conducted, whereby seventeen participants were presented with seven in-vehicle infotainment tasks. Participants were asked to describe their mental models for each, and then sketch these visual, tactual and auditory associations. ‘Haptifiable’ elements were extracted, and these were analysed using semiotics principles, resulting in thirty ultrahapticon concepts. These were subsequently evaluated and further refined in a workshop involving user experience and haptics experts. The final seventeen concepts will be validated in a salience recognition and perspicuity study.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123832307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this does not mean that vehicles should not interact with their driver anymore, even in case of full automation. One reason is that the automation is not yet advanced enough to predict other road user's behavior in complex situations, which can lead to sub-optimal action choices, decrease comfort and user experience. In contrast, a human driver may have a more reliable understanding of other road users’ intentions which could complement that of the automation. We propose a framework that distinguishes between four levels for interaction with automation. Based on the framework, we introduce a concept which allows drivers to provide prediction-level guidance to an automated driving system through gaze-speech interaction. Results of a pilot user study show that people hold a positive attitude towards prediction-level intervention as well as the gaze-based interaction method.","PeriodicalId":373501,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128001553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
