“…Firstly, prioritize pictographic information over text-based messages in visual interfaces whenever applicable, emphasising information that is readily understood by drivers [56]. There are several guidelines specific to pictographic information and icons that can support the design of such elements [57,58]. Secondly, when explaining the behaviour of autonomous systems, it is crucial to consider how to improve the system transparency and visibility of the explanatory information.…”

Automated vehicles (AVs) are recognized as one of the most effective measures to realize sustainable transport. These vehicles can reduce emissions and environmental pollution, enhance accessibility, improve safety, and produce economic benefits through congestion reduction and cost savings. However, the consumer acceptance of and trust in these vehicles are not ideal, which affects the diffusion speed of AVs on the market. Providing transparent explanations of AV behaviour is a method for building confidence and trust in AV technologies. In this study, we investigated the explainability of user interface information in an Automated Valet Parking (AVP) system—one of the first L4 automated driving systems with a large commercial landing. Specifically, we proposed a scenario-based explanation framework based on explainable AI and examined the effects of these explanations on drivers’ objective and subjective performance. The results of Experiment 1 indicated that the scenario-based explanations effectively improved drivers’ situational trust and user experience (UX), thereby enhancing the perception and understanding that drivers had of the system’s intelligence capabilities. These explanations significantly reduced the mental workload and elevated the user performance in objective evaluations. In Experiment 2, we uncovered distinct explainability preferences among new and frequent users. New users sought increased trust and transparency, benefiting from guided explanations. In contrast, frequent users emphasised efficiency and driving safety. The final experimental results confirmed that solutions customised for different segments of the population are significantly more effective, satisfying, and trustworthy than generic solutions. These findings demonstrate that the explanations for individual differences, based on our proposed scenario-based framework, have significant implications for the adoption and sustainability of AVs.

“…To date, many researchers have devoted themselves to the study of emergency mapping methods using different types of emergency map symbols combined with basic geographic information for emergency response and disaster reduction efforts [22,23]. The disasters and emergency map symbol library, which is used to create, store, and manage map symbols, is the foundation of emergency mapping.…”

Abstract:The timely and accurate mapping of dynamic disasters and emergencies is an important task that is necessary for supporting the decision-making that can improve the efficiency of rescue and response efforts. The existing emergency symbol libraries are primarily composed of point symbols and simple line symbols, focusing on the representation of disasters, related facilities, and operations. However, various existing response factors (e.g., the distribution and types of emergency forces) are also important for further decision-making and emergency responses; there is a need to design complex and diverse symbols to represent this rich information. Moreover, traditional mapping systems only provide static map symbols that cannot be easily edited after creation, making it difficult to support interactive editing after the symbols are mapped, thus hindering the representation of dynamic disasters and response factors. This article targets a solution of the above issues by proposing a procedural construction method of interactive map symbols for dynamic disasters and emergency responses. There are two primary research points. First, an emergency response and decision symbol library was classified and integrated into the existing attachments to form a richer symbol library for comprehensively representing disasters and emergencies. Second, an interactive map symbol procedural construction method was designed based on (1) primitive geometric compositions and geometric graphics algorithms to construct the map symbol graphics; (2) an interactive graphics control and drawing attributes configuration method to support user interactive editing of the visual variables of the mapped symbols; (3) and a dynamic updating and drawing strategy to support the real-time refreshing of the changing visual variables. The experiment was conducted using the Wenchuan earthquake as a case study, and the results demonstrate a powerful capacity of the produced interactive map symbols, which will contribute to the improvement of the mapping efficiency and representation capability of disasters and emergency response.

“…As already discussed in Chapter 1, map users can differ in a multitude of ways, one of which is cultural background. Korpi and Ahonen-Rainio (2015) conducted a study of how cultural differences and referent characteristics affect the design of pictographic map symbols. They engaged 75 students from 18 countries in a course called Visualization of Geographic…”
