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

Waking Effectiveness of Emergency Alerting Devices for the Hearing Able, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf Populations

The study presented measures the awakening effectiveness of a number of commercially available emergency alerting devices. Three groups of varying hearing levels were tested: hearing able, hard of hearing, and deaf. The devices evaluated are a typical audible smoke detector, a strobe light, and a bed shaker. The subjects were monitored for sleep stage during the single night tests and the emergency alerting devices were activated in Stage 2, Delta and REM stages of sleep. Results indicate that the audible smoke detector was most effective for the hearing able population and least effective for the deaf population. The recommended alternative to the audible smoke detector, the strobe, was the least effective device when measured against the total United States population. The vibratory tactile devices were most effective across all hearing categories and sleep stage. When the tactile signal of the bed shaker was modified to vibrate intermittently, all persons were effectively aroused. The research shows that the standard audible detector recommended for placement in all American homes is only effective in awakening those without hearing loss. The strobe is recommended by building and fire codes when hearing deficits are present but did not sufficiently awaken any population. Tactile devices can provide a sufficient means for awakening all populations regardless of hearing level, age or rac

The contribution of behaviour to falls among older people in and around the home

This thesis examines the contribution of behaviour to falls among older people in and around the home. Falls are an extensive problem, with the scale of this set to worsen in line with the increasing older population. Risk factors for falls have received much attention during recent years, although little emphasis has been given to the role of behaviour in falls risk. It is argued in the thesis that older people play an active role in their exposure to risk, influenced by their attitudes, beliefs and motivations. This aspect has received only limited consideration. The research consisted of five studies. The first three investigations used a triangulated approach to examine the contribution and role of older people's behaviour, physical ability and home environment design in fall risk. The fourth study considered the role of health practitioners in fall prevention and investigated barriers to successful interventions. The final study examined the contribution of a health psychology framework to understanding fall-related behaviour among older people. [Continues.

Building Egressibility in an Ageing Society

This is the final report of a three-year project called Building Egressibility in an Ageing Society, sponsored by the Swedish research council for sustainable development (FORMAS). While accessibility is an established and widely used concept in building design, the evacuation of people with functional limitations is still at a stage in which several research gaps exist. In this context, this work discusses the concept of Egressibility, intended as the accessibility to means of evacuation. A categorization of populations with functional limitations in light of their egress-related abilities was performed by reviewing egress and accessibility research. The role of functional limitations on evacuation performance was investigated using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). A qualitative interview study consisting of 28 semi-structured interviews with people with functional limitations was conducted to further scrutinize Egressibility issues of older people. An Egressibility assessment instrument, the Egress Enabler, has been developed based on the concept of person-environment fit. A Virtual Reality (VR) experiment involving 40 participants was also conducted to demonstrate the use of VR technology to study the impact of people with functional limitations on egress. It also allowed to explore how the presence of people with functional limitations affects exit choice. Overall, Egressibility was investigated with the aim to ensure that egress planning and procedures are designed to equally consider all members of an aging society

User preferences in the design of advanced driver assistance systems

The transport network and mobility aspects are constantly changing, and major changes are expected in the coming years in terms of safety and sustainability purposes. In this paper, we present the main conclusions and analysis of data collected from a survey of drivers in Spain and Portugal regarding user preferences, highlighting the main functionalities and behavior that an advanced driver assistance system must have in order to grant it special importance on the road to prevent accidents and also to enable drivers to have a pleasant journey. Based on the results obtained from the survey, we developed and present a working prototype for an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), its architecture and rules systems that allowed us to create and test some scenarios in a real environment.5311-8814-F0ED | Sara Maria da Cruz Maia de Oliveira PaivaN/

Averting Robot Eyes

Home robots will cause privacy harms. At the same time, they can provide beneficial services—as long as consumers trust them. This Essay evaluates potential technological solutions that could help home robots keep their promises, avert their eyes, and otherwise mitigate privacy harms. Our goals are to inform regulators of robot-related privacy harms and the available technological tools for mitigating them, and to spur technologists to employ existing tools and develop new ones by articulating principles for avoiding privacy harms. We posit that home robots will raise privacy problems of three basic types: (1) data privacy problems; (2) boundary management problems; and (3) social/relational problems. Technological design can ward off, if not fully prevent, a number of these harms. We propose five principles for home robots and privacy design: data minimization, purpose specifications, use limitations, honest anthropomorphism, and dynamic feedback and participation. We review current research into privacy-sensitive robotics, evaluating what technological solutions are feasible and where the harder problems lie. We close by contemplating legal frameworks that might encourage the implementation of such design, while also recognizing the potential costs of regulation at these early stages of the technology

Smart Assistive Technology for People with Visual Field Loss

Visual field loss results in the lack of ability to clearly see objects in the surrounding environment, which affects the ability to determine potential hazards. In visual field loss, parts of the visual field are impaired to varying degrees, while other parts may remain healthy. This defect can be debilitating, making daily life activities very stressful. Unlike blind people, people with visual field loss retain some functional vision. It would be beneficial to intelligently augment this vision by adding computer-generated information to increase the users' awareness of possible hazards by providing early notifications. This thesis introduces a smart hazard attention system to help visual field impaired people with their navigation using smart glasses and a real-time hazard classification system. This takes the form of a novel, customised, machine learning-based hazard classification system that can be integrated into wearable assistive technology such as smart glasses. The proposed solution provides early notifications based on (1) the visual status of the user and (2) the motion status of the detected object. The presented technology can detect multiple objects at the same time and classify them into different hazard types. The system design in this work consists of four modules: (1) a deep learning-based object detector to recognise static and moving objects in real-time, (2) a Kalman Filter-based multi-object tracker to track the detected objects over time to determine their motion model, (3) a Neural Network-based classifier to determine the level of danger for each hazard using its motion features extracted while the object is in the user's field of vision, and (4) a feedback generation module to translate the hazard level into a smart notification to increase user's cognitive perception using the healthy vision within the visual field. For qualitative system testing, normal and personalised defected vision models were implemented. The personalised defected vision model was created to synthesise the visual function for the people with visual field defects. Actual central and full-field test results were used to create a personalised model that is used in the feedback generation stage of this system, where the visual notifications are displayed in the user's healthy visual area. The proposed solution will enhance the quality of life for people suffering from visual field loss conditions. This non-intrusive, wearable hazard detection technology can provide obstacle avoidance solution, and prevent falls and collisions early with minimal information
