Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four patterns of transformation actors serve as a starting point for organisations in supporting technological choice and strategic interventions, based on individual, group, and organisational behavioural levels. Moreover, five propositions, based on the competing concerns of these challenges, establish a framework for comprehending the ecosystem that enables rapid digital transformation. Strategies, prerequisites, and key factors during the (digital) technology development process benefit the cyber-society ecosystem. As a practical contribution, Q-methodology was used to investigate perspectives on digitalisation challenges during the pandemic.
The way we communicate with autonomous cars will fundamentally change as soon as manual input is no longer required as back-up for the autonomous system. Maneuver-based driving is a potential way to allow still the user to intervene with the autonomous car to communicate requests such as stopping at the next parking lot. In this work, we highlight different research questions that still need to be explored to gain insights into how such control can be realized in the future.
Human emotion detection in automated vehicles helps to improve comfort and safety. Research in the automotive domain focuses a lot on sensing drivers' drowsiness and aggression. We present a new form of implicit driver-vehicle cooperation, where emotion detection is integrated into an automated vehicle's decision-making process. Constant evaluation of the driver's reaction to vehicle behavior allows us to revise decisions and helps to increase the safety of future automated vehicles.
How to Increase Automated Vehicles’ Acceptance through In-Vehicle Interaction Design: A Review
(2020)
Automated vehicles (AVs) are on the edge of being available on the mass market. Research often focuses on technical aspects of automation, such as computer vision, sensing, or artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, researchers also identified several challenges from a human perspective that need to be considered for a successful introduction of these technologies. In this paper, we first analyze human needs and system acceptance in the context of AVs. Then, based on a literature review, we provide a summary of current research on in-car driver-vehicle interaction and related human factor issues. This work helps researchers, designers, and practitioners to get an overview of the current state of the art.
The development of innovative measuring technology for process optimization in hot rolling mills becomes more and more relevant because of increasing demands on product quality. Measurement technology for high-resolution non-contact cross-sectional area measurement has shown that the variation in cross-sectional area contains information about the rolling process. This information can be used for the development of new measurement devices and analytical methods for process optimization. The harsh environmental conditions and strict safety regulations result in great effort when implementing a new sensor prototype in hot rolling mills. For this reason, this work presents a mechatronic test stand that can simulate the cross-sectional area variation under laboratory conditions realistically.

Das CameraFramework wurde entwickelt, um mittels Socket-Kommunikation [1] als Middleware zwischen verschiedenen Kamerainstanzen mit eigenen Kameratreibern und Clienten zu fungieren. Über diesen Kommunikationsweg ist es möglich Clienten nicht nur lokal, sondern auch über das Netzwerk mit Kameradaten zu versorgen. Um neue Kameras mit dem Framework nutzen zu können, muss die Implementierung gewissen Regeln folgen, was durch ein vorgegebenes Basis-Interface (abstrakte Basis-Klasse in C++ [2]) fast vollständig sichergestellt ist. Neue Kameras werden zur Laufzeit über dynamische Bibliotheken geladen. Parameter für Kameras sind über ein XML-File [3] einzustellen. Funktionen zur Übergabe von neuen Kameradaten sind implementiert und müssen durch den Entwickler der einzelnen Kamerainterfaces aufgerufen werden.
Die Zuordnung von Kameradaten zum passenden Nutzer übernimmt das Framework. Jeder Clienterhält seinen eigenen konfigurierbaren Ringbuffer [4] um unabhängig von anderen Nutzern und Kameras zu sein. Die Aufgaben des Frameworks sind auf verschiedene Module, wie in Abbildung 1 dargestellt, aufgeteilt.
Autonomous driving is one of the future visions in which many vehicle manufacturers are working with high pressure.
Nowadays, it is already supported partially by high-class vehicles. A completely autonomous journey is indeed the goal, but in cars for
the public road traffic still not available. Automatic lane keeping assistants, speed regulators as well as shield and obstacle detections
are parts or precursors on the way to completely autonomous driving.
The American vehicle manufacturer Tesla is not only known for its electric drive, but also for the fact that high-pressure work is carried out on the autonomous drive. Tesla is thus the only vehicle manufacturer to use its users as so-called beta testers for its assistance systems. The progress and the function of the currently available Model S in the field of assistance systems and autonomic driving is documented and described in this paper. It is shown how good or bad the test vehicle manages scenarios in normal road traffic situations
with the assistance systems, e.g. lane keeping assistant, speed control, lane change and distance assistant, and which scenarios can
not be managed by the vehicle itself.
