A User-Centered Approach to Adapt the Human-Machine Cooperation Strategy in Autonomous Driving

Abstract

Using an integrative user-centered approach, the research project aimed at designing and assessing an adaptive HMI to improve the safety and the quality of the take-over in a level-3 automated vehicle. Future autonomous driving users confirmed the need for the monitoring systems to improve safety as long as they are simple and not intrusive. They request specific information to understand and initiate appropriated actions in case of a critical situation. However, to avoid overloading and detrimental effects, it is important that the system limits the amount of information at the right moment.
