They superimpose safety-critical information on top of the drivers forward field of view and thereby help drivers keep their eyes forward while driving. Since the first introduction about three decades ago, automotive HUDs have been available in various commercial vehicles. Despite the long history and potential benefits of automotive HUDs, however, the design of useful automotive HUDs remains a challenging problem. In an effort to contribute to the design of useful automotive HUDs, this doctoral dissertation research conducted four studies. In Study 1, the functional requirements of automotive HUDs were investigated by reviewing the major automakers' automotive HUD products, academic research studies that proposed various automotive HUD functions, and previous research studies that surveyed drivers HUD information needs. The review results indicated that: 1) the existing commercial HUDs perform largely the same functions as the conventional in-vehicle displays, 2) past research studies proposed various HUD functions for improving driver situation awareness and driving safety, 3) autonomous driving and other new technologies are giving rise to new HUD information, and 4) little research is currently available on HUD users perceived information needs. Based on the review results, this study provides insights into the functional requirements of automotive HUDs and also suggests some future research directions for automotive HUD design. In Study 2, the interface design of automotive HUDs for communicating safety-related information was examined by reviewing the existing commercial HUDs and display concepts proposed by academic research studies. Each display was analyzed in terms of its functions, behaviors and structure. Also, related human factors display design principles, and, empirical findings on the effects of interface design decisions were reviewed when information was available. The results indicated that: 1) information characteristics suitable for the contact-analog and unregistered display formats, respectively, are still largely unknown, 2) new types of displays could be developed by combining or mixing existing displays or display elements at both the information and interface element levels, and 3) the human factors display principles need to be used properly according to the situation and only to the extent that the resulting display respects the limitations of the human information processing, and achieving balance among the principles is important to an effective design. On the basis of the review results, this review suggests design possibilities and future research directions on the interface design of safety-related automotive HUD systems. In Study 3, automotive HUD-based take-over request (TOR) displays were developed and evaluated in terms of drivers take-over performance and visual scanning behavior in a highly automated driving situation. Four different types of TOR displays were comparatively evaluated through a driving simulator study - they were: Baseline (an auditory beeping alert), Mini-map, Arrow, and Mini-map-and-Arrow. Baseline simply alerts an imminent take-over, and was always included when the other three displays were provided. Mini-map provides situational information. Arrow presents the action direction information for the take-over. Mini-map-and-Arrow provides the action direction together with the relevant situational information. This study also investigated the relationship between drivers initial trust in the TOR displays and take-over and visual scanning behavior. The results indicated that providing a combination of machine-made decision and situational information, such as Mini-map-and-Arrow, yielded the best results overall in the take-over scenario. Also, drivers initial trust in the TOR displays was found to have significant associations with the take-over and visual behavior of drivers. The higher trust group primarily relied on the proposed TOR displays, while the lower trust group tended to more check the situational information through the traditional displays, such as side-view or rear-view mirrors. In Study 4, the effect of interactive HUD imagery location on driving and secondary task performance, driver distraction, preference, and workload associated with use of scrolling list while driving were investigated. A total of nine HUD imagery locations of full-windshield were examined through a driving simulator study. The results indicated the HUD imagery location affected all the dependent measures, that is, driving and task performance, drivers visual distraction, preference and workload. Considering both objective and subjective evaluations, interactive HUDs should be placed near the driver's line of sight, especially near the left-bottom on the windshield.자동차 헤드업 디스플레이는 차내 디스플레이 중 하나로 운전자에게 필요한 정보를 전방에 표시함으로써, 운전자가 운전을 하는 동안 전방으로 시선을 유지할 수 있게 도와준다. 이를 통해 운전자의 주의 분산을 줄이고, 안전을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이 시스템은 약 30년 전 운전자의 안전을 향상시키기 위한 수단으로 자동차 산업에 처음 도입된 이래로 현재까지 다양한 상용차에서 사용되고 있다. 안전과 편의 측면에서 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 사용은 점점 더 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 이러한 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 잠재적 이점과 발전 가능성에도 불구하고, 유용한 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이를 설계하는 것은 여전히 어려운 문제이다. 이에 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하고, 궁극적으로 유용한 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이 설계에 기여하고자 총 4가지 연구를 수행하였다. 첫 번째 연구는 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 기능 요구 사항과 관련된 것으로서, 헤드업 디스플레이 시스템을 통해 어떤 정보를 제공할 것인가에 대한 답을 구하고자 하였다. 이에 주요 자동차 제조업체들의 헤드업 디스플레이 제품들과, 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 다양한 기능들을 제안한 학술 연구, 그리고 운전자의 정보 요구 사항들을 체계적 문헌 고찰 방법론을 통해 포괄적으로 조사하였다. 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 기능적 요구 사항에 대하여 개발자, 연구자, 사용자 측면을 모두 고려한 통합된 지식을 전달하고, 이를 통해 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 기능 요구 사항에 대한 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다. 두 번째 연구는 안전 관련 정보를 제공하는 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 인터페이스 설계와 관련된 것으로, 헤드업 디스플레이 시스템을 통해 안전 관련 정보를 어떻게 제공할 것인가에 대한 답을 구하고자 하였다. 실제 자동차들의 헤드업 디스플레이 시스템에서는 어떤 디스플레이 컨셉들이 사용되었는지, 그리고 학계에서 제안된 디스플레이 컨셉들에는 어떤 것들이 있는지 체계적 문헌 고찰 방법론을 통해 검토하였다. 검토된 결과는 각 디스플레이의 기능과 구조, 그리고 작동 방식에 따라 정리되었고, 관련된 인간공학적 디스플레이 설계 원칙과 실험적 연구 결과들을 함께 검토하였다. 검토된 결과를 바탕으로 안전 관련 정보를 제공하는 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이의 인터페이스 설계에 대한 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다. 세 번째 연구는 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이 기반의 제어권 전환 관련 인터페이스 설계와 평가에 관한 것이다. 제어권 전환이란, 자율주행 상태에서 운전자가 직접 운전을 하는 수동 운전 상태로 전환이 되는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 갑작스런 제어권 전환 요청이 발생하는 경우, 운전자가 안전하게 대처하기 위해서는 빠른 상황 파악과 의사 결정이 필요하게 되고, 이를 효과적으로 도와주기 위한 인터페이스 설계에 대해 연구할 필요성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자동차 헤드업 디스플레이 기반의 총 4개의 제어권 전환 관련 디스플레이(기준 디스플레이, 미니맵 디스플레이, 화살표 디스플레이, 미니맵과 화살표 디스플레이)를 제안하였고, 제안된 디스플레이 대안들은 주행 시뮬레이터 실험을 통해 제어권 전환 수행 능력과 안구의 움직임 패턴, 그리고 사용자의 주관적 평가 측면에서 평가되었다. 또한 제안된 디스플레이 대안들에 대해 운전자들의 초기 신뢰도 값을 측정하여 각 디스플레이에 따른 운전자들의 평균 신뢰도 점수에 따라 제어권 전환 수행 능력과 안구의 움직임 패턴, 그리고 주관적 평가가 어떻게 달라지는지 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 제어권 전환 상황에서 자동화된 시스템이 제안하는 정보와 그와 관련된 주변 상황 정보를 함께 제시해 주는 디스플레이가 가장 좋은 결과를 보여주었다. 또한 각 디스플레이에 대한 운전자의 초기 신뢰도 점수는 디스플레이의 실제 사용 행태와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 신뢰도 점수에 따라 신뢰도가 높은 그룹과 낮은 그룹으로 분류되었고, 신뢰도가 높은 그룹은 제안된 디스플레이들이 보여주는 정보를 주로 믿고 따르는 경향이 있었던 반면, 신뢰도가 낮은 그룹은 룸 미러나 사이드 미러를 통해 주변 상황 정보를 더 확인 하는 경향을 보였다. 네 번째 연구는 전면 유리창에서의 인터랙티브 헤드업 디스플레이의 최적 위치를 결정하는 것으로서 주행 시뮬레이터 실험을 통해 디스플레이의 위치에 따라 운전자의 주행 수행 능력, 인터랙티브 디스플레이 조작 관련 과업 수행 능력, 시각적 주의 분산, 선호도, 그리고 작업 부하가 평가되었다. 헤드업 디스플레이의 위치는 전면 유리창에서 일정한 간격으로 총 9개의 위치가 고려되었다. 본 연구에서 활용된 인터랙티브 디스플레이는 음악 선택을 위한 스크롤 방식의 단일 디스플레이였고, 운전대에 장착된 버튼을 통해 디스플레이를 조작하였다. 실험 결과, 인터랙티브 헤드업 디스플레이의 위치가 모든 평가 척도, 즉 주행 수행 능력, 디스플레이 조작 과업 수행 능력, 시각적 주의 분산, 선호도, 그리고 작업 부하에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 모든 평가 지표를 고려했을 때, 인터랙티브 헤드업 디스플레이의 위치는 운전자가 똑바로 전방을 바라볼 때의 시야 구간, 즉 전면 유리창에서의 왼쪽 아래 부근이 가장 최적인 것으로 나타났다.Abstract i Contents v List of Tables ix List of Figures x Chapter 1

Reaktion menschlicher (Mit-)Fahrer auf hochautomatisierte Fahrzeuge im Mischverkehr auf der Autobahn und im urbanen Raum

In the future, highly automated vehicles will be introduced in road traffic, first on highways, and later in urban areas. The introduction will result in a long transition phase with mixed traffic. This transition phase poses new challenges for humans as passengers inside highly automated vehicles and for humans as drivers interacting with these vehicles in mixed traffic. Thus far, human drivers lack experience with highly automated vehicles and driving in mixed traffic. In addition, it can be expected that highly automated vehicles will drive in a more rule-compliant and defensive way than human drivers. This may cause conflicts with human drivers in mixed traffic, and lead to passenger discomfort and perceived risk. This dissertation investigated how humans react to highly automated vehicles in mixed traffic, taking both inside perspective of passengers and the outside perspective of human drivers into account. To this end, four psychological experiments. From the outside perspective, this dissertation investigated human drivers’ first contact with highly automated vehicles in dyadic interactions on the highway (Study 1) and repeated contact on longer highway sections (Study 2). Results showed that human drivers rate the rule-compliant automated driving behavior as pleasant and safe in dyadic interactions. However, human drivers feel slowed down by preceding highly automated vehicles on longer stretches of highway, which can be a potential hazard. Furthermore, an external labelling of highly automated vehicles may be recommendable in the long run. From the inside perspective of passengers, this dissertation investigated urban mixed traffic interactions with cyclists and pedestrians in longitudinal traffic (Study 3) and at a junction (Study 4). Results show that passengers do not accept any risk during highly automated driving and passengers want an early behavioral reaction of the highly automated vehicle to vulnerable road users in the driving environment. Across the four studies, the present dissertation shows that highly automated vehicles drive noticeably differently, which both passengers and manual drivers can perceive. However, highly automated driving behavior is perceived as unpleasant at maximum, but not as dangerous. When designing highly automated driving functions, both driver and passenger preferences should be considered equally. Future studies should examine the preferences of human road users regarding automated driving behavior.In Zukunft werden hochautomatisierte Fahrzeuge im Straßenverkehr eingeführt, zunächst auf der Autobahn, und später auch im urbanen Raum. Die Einführung dieser Technologie resultiert in einer langen Übergangsphase mit Mischverkehr. Dieser Übergang stellt Menschen als Passagiere und Fahrer vor neue Herausforderungen. Bislang fehlt Fahrern die Erfahrung mit hochautomatisierten Fahrzeugen und dem Fahren im Mischverkehr. Zudem ist zu erwarten, dass sich hochautomatisierte Fahrzeuge regelkonformer und defensiver fahren als menschliche Fahrer. Das könnte zu Konflikten mit anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern, und zu Diskomfort und Risikoerleben beim Passagier führen. Diese Dissertation untersuchte mithilfe von psychologischen Experimenten wie menschliche Fahrer auf hochautomatisierte Systeme aus der Passagiersicht und aus der Außensicht als manuelle Fahrer im Mischverkehr reagieren. Ein weiteres Ziel war es zu verstehen, wie hochautomatisierte Fahrzeuge fahren sollen, damit sich Passagiere sicher fühlen. Aus der Außensicht menschlicher Fahrer untersuchte diese Dissertation den Erstkontakt mit hochautomatisierten Fahrzeugen in dyadischen Interaktionen (Studie 1) und im wiederholten Kontakt (Studie 2) auf längeren Autobahnabschnitten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Fahrer das regelkonforme hochautomatisierte Fahrverhalten in dyadischen Interaktionen als angenehm und sicher bewerten. Allerdings fühlen sich Fahrer auf längeren Strecken ausgebremst, wodurch ein Gefahrenpotenzial entsteht kann. Weiterhin ist eine Außenkennzeichnung auf längere Sicht zu empfehlen. Aus der Passagiersicht untersuchte diese Dissertation urbane Mischverkehrsinteraktion im longitudinalen Verkehr (Studie 3) und an einer Einmündung (Studie 4). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Passagiere keinerlei Risiko eingehen wollen und sich eine frühzeitige Verhaltensreaktion des hochautomatisierten Fahrzeugs auf schwächere Verkehrsteilnehmer in die Fahrumgebung wünschen. Studienübergreifend zeigt sich, dass hochautomatisierte Fahrzeuge merklich anders fahren, was Passagiere als auch für manuelle Fahrer wahrnehmen können. Automatisiertes Fahrverhalten wird aber maximal als unangenehm, nicht als gefährlich bewertet. Bei der technischen Auslegung automatisierter Fahrfunktionen sollten die Präferenzen von Fahrern und Passagieren gleichermaßen berücksichtigt werden. Zukünftige Studien sollten die Präferenzen anderer menschlicher Verkehrsteilnehmer im Hinblick auf das Verhalten automatisierter Fahrzeuge weiter untersuchen

Ehmi: Review and guidelines for deployment on autonomous vehicles

Human-machine interaction is an active area of research due to the rapid development of autonomous systems and the need for communication. This review provides further insight into the specific issue of the information flow between pedestrians and automated vehicles by evaluating recent advances in external human-machine interfaces (eHMI), which enable the transmission of state and intent information from the vehicle to the rest of the traffic participants. Recent developments will be explored and studies analyzing their effectiveness based on pedestrian feedback data will be presented and contextualized. As a result, we aim to draw a broad perspective on the current status and recent techniques for eHMI and some guidelines that will encourage future research and development of these systems

Take It to the Curb: Scalable Communication Between Autonomous Cars and Vulnerable Road Users Through Curbstone Displays

Automated driving will require new approaches to the communication between vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, e.g., through external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs). However, the majority of eHMI concepts are neither scalable (i.e., take into account complex traffic scenarios with multiple vehicles and VRUs), nor do they optimize traffic flow. Speculating on the upgrade of traffic infrastructure in the automated city, we propose Smart Curbs, a scalable communication concept integrated into the curbstone. Using a combination of immersive and non-immersive prototypes, we evaluated the suitability of our concept for complex urban environments in a user study (N = 18). Comparing the approach to a projection-based eHMI, our findings reveal that Smart Curbs are safer to use, as our participants spent less time on the road when crossing. Based on our findings, we discuss the potential of Smart Curbs to mitigate the scalability problem in AV-pedestrian communication and simultaneously enhance traffic flow

Efficient Paradigm to Measure Street-Crossing Onset Time of Pedestrians in Video-Based Interactions with Vehicles

With self-driving vehicles (SDVs), pedestrians can no longer rely on a human driver. Previous research suggests that pedestrians may benefit from an external Human–Machine Interface (eHMI) displaying information to surrounding traffic participants. This paper introduces a natural methodology to compare eHMI concepts from a pedestrian’s viewpoint. To measure eHMI effects on traffic flow, previous video-based studies instructed participants to indicate their crossing decision with interfering data collection devices, such as pressing a button or slider. We developed a quantifiable concept that allows participants to naturally step off a sidewalk to cross the street. Hidden force-sensitive resistor sensors recorded their crossing onset time (COT) in response to real-life videos of approaching vehicles in an immersive crosswalk simulation environment. We validated our method with an initial study of N = 34 pedestrians by showing (1) that it is able to detect significant eHMI effects on COT as well as subjective measures of perceived safety and user experience. The approach is further validated by (2) replicating the findings of a test track study and (3) participants’ reports that it felt natural to take a step forward to indicate their street crossing decision. We discuss the benefits and limitations of our method with regard to related approaches. Document type: Articl

Willingness to Use Overhead Bridge Facilities Based on Theory of Planned Behavior

Overhead Bridge is the most vital crossing facilities for pedestrian to cross the busy road. This bridge is most important to implement the way to prevent the incident and to create awareness for the pedestrian to take a safety crossing behavior in order to avoid the accident crashes. The objective of this study is to estimate the frequency of overhead bridge usage and the relationship between characteristics and attitude among pedestrian. In understanding this output, Theory of Planned Behavior turned into used in the study to decide whether the characteristics and attitude affect the behavior of pedestrian that concerning the accident. This study was conducted at overhead bridges which located between Ayer Hitam to Batu Pahat. The sample for this study consists of 200 respondents. Set questionnaires which contain 30 items of questions were used to collect the data. The data were analysis using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. Data was analyzed using SPSS.    There were 86 males and 114 females are evaluated the questionnaires. There were 157 respondents are who below 30 years and younger people. Correlation for all the factors of TPB are shows positive linear relationship. Attitude and Perceived Behavior Control show a significant to predict intention. Intention also showed strong relationship to the behavior. Lastly, Perceived Behavior Control showed strong relationship to the behavior. Attitude and Perceived Behavior Control may be having an impact on pedestrian to willing used overhead bridge and prevent pedestrians’ accidents and fatalities

The role of route familiarity in traffic participants’ behaviour and transport psychology research:A systematic review

Studies of how transport behaviour (e.g., driving, cycling, and walking) is affected by practice and familiarity are not commonplace, in spite of the fact that much of our travel takes place on familiar, well-practiced routes. In other areas, it is well-established that repetition affects cognition, particularly memory and attention. The goals of the current systematic literature review were 1) to explore how researchers have described and examined the effects of people’s familiarity with routes and road types, and 2) to obtain a better insight into the cognitive processes, and behaviour that occur in familiar road environments. The systematic review was conducted based on the principles described in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Scopus’ database was searched systematically using predefined search combinations which involved (1) the transport modes of driving, cycling, and walking; (2) research methods that typically involve route- or situation-familiar participants (e.g., naturalistic studies, observational studies and field operational tests); and (3) various words associated with route familiarity (e.g., familiar, everyday, and commute). Ninety-four studies met all inclusion criteria. Results were analysed in terms of the cognitive and behavioural changes associated with familiarity, as reported in the studies. Route familiarity was typically reported to reduce the amount of cognitive control used to process the immediate environment and to increase mind wandering, compared to unfamiliar situations. Familiarity also increased recall accuracy and opportunities for self-regulatory behaviour, and decreased task difficulty. Familiarity appears to have large effects on how people attend to and process the environment. Given the proportion of time people spend travelling in familiar situations, this low attention, high familiarity state should be considered the default mode and as a more integral context for experimental, naturalistic and observational research in transport psychology
