Simulating the Future of Automated Driving: Unveiling Human Factors Issues and Providing HCI Insights

This speech explores the intersection of human factors, human-computer interaction (HCI), and evaluation of automated driving systems. Based on exemplary research projects, we will delve into simulations as a powerful tool for studying automated driving. We will discuss study setup in driving simulators and mixed reality environments, addressing the sim-real domain gap. Wizard-of-Oz studies and the explainability of automated driving systems are introduced, along with the crucial role of driver-vehicle cooperation. We also explore confidence and trust in these systems, emphasizing their impact on user experience.

Light refreshments will be provided. If you cannot attend in person, join via Zoom
