Automotive user interfaces and automated vehicle technology pose numerous challenges to support all diverse facets of user needs. These range from inexperienced, thrill-seeking, young novice drivers to elderly drivers with a mostly opposite set of preferences together with their natural limitations. To allow assessing the (hedonic) quality of automotive user interfaces and automated driving technology (i. e., UX) already during development, the proposed workshop is dedicated to the quest of finding objective, quantifiable criteria to describe future driving experiences. The workshop is intended for HCI, AutomotiveUI, and “Human Factors” researchers and practitioners as well for designers and developers. In adherence to the conference main topic “Interaktion – Verbindet – Alle”, this workshop calls in particular for contributions in the areas of human factors and ergonomics (user acceptance, trust, user experience, driving fun, natural user interfaces, etc.) with focus on hedonic quality and design of user experience to enhance the safety feeling in ADS.
In catastrophic events, the potential of help has grown through new technologies. Voluntary help has many forms. Within this paper different categories of voluntary help are suggested. Those categories are based on properties like organizational structures, helping process, kind of prosocial behavior and many more. A focus is clearly on the organizational structure and motivational aspects of helper groups. Examples are given for each category. The categorization’s aim is to give a brief overview of possible properties a group of system users could have.
Bei Großschadensereignissen kann es durch die Vielzahl der Alarme dazu kommen, dass die verfügbaren Rettungskräfte nicht mehr ausreichen, um die anfallenden Aufgaben zu bewältigen oder Hilfsfristen einzuhalten. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt einen Ansatz, sich zusätzlicher Hilfe aus der Bevölkerung zu bedienen, die über einen Disponenten aus der vorhandenen Leitstelle koordiniert wird. Dabei stehen nicht spontan organisierte Helfer im Vordergrund, sondern Personen, die sich vorab mit einem klaren Fertigkeitsprofil und ggf. auch Ausstattung im System registriert haben. Besondere Anforderungen entstehen bei den Disponenten der Leitstelle, deren Mehrbelastung durch das neue System gering zu halten ist, als auch bei den freiwilligen Helfern, die über eine App auf dem Mobiltelefon alarmiert werden und auch darüber die Kommunikation führen sollen. Die Anforderungen beeinflussen sowohl die System-Infrastruktur als auch die Benutzerschnittstelle.
Self-driving cars will relief the human from the driving task. Nevertheless, the human might want to intervene in the driving process and thus needs the possibility to control the car. Switching back to fully manual controls is uncomfortable once being passive and engaging in non-driving-related activities. A more comfortable way is controlling the car with elemental maneuvers (e.g., "turn left" or "stop"). Whereas touch interaction concepts exist, contactless interaction through voice and mid-air gestures has not yet been explored for maneuver-based car control. In this paper, we, therefore, compare the general eligibility of voice and mid-air gesture with touch interaction as the primary maneuver selection mechanism in a driving simulator study. Our results show high usability for all modalities. Contactless interaction leads to a more positive emotional perception of the interaction, yet mid-air gestures lead to higher task load. Overall, voice and touch control are preferred over mid-air gestures by most users.
For highly automated vehicles (AVs), new interaction concepts need to be developed. Even in AVs, the driver might want to intervene and override the automation from time to time. To create the possibility of control, we explore vehicle control through maneuver-based interventions (MBI). Thereby, we focus on explicit, contact-less interaction, which could be beneficial in future AV designs, where the driver is not necessarily bound to classical controls. We propose a set of freehand gestures and keywords for voice control derived in a user-centered design process. Further, we discuss properties, applicability and user impressions of both interaction modalities. Voice control seems to be an efficient way to select a maneuver and free-hand gestures could be used, if voice channel is blocked, e.g., through conversation with passengers.
Even though many aspects of automated driving have not yet become reality, many human factors issues have already been investigated. However, recent discussions revealed common misconceptions in both research and society about vehicle automation and the levels of automation levels. This might be due to the fact that automated driving functions are misnamed (cf. Autopilot) and that vehicles integrate functions at different automation levels (L1 lane keeping assistant, L2/L3 traffic jam assist, L4 valet parking). The user interface is one of the most critical issues in the interaction between humans and vehicles--and diverging mental models might be a major challenge here. Today's (manual) vehicles are ill-suited for appropriate HMI testing for automated vehicles. Instead, virtual or mixed reality might be a much better playground to test new interaction concepts in an automated driving setting.
Currently, car assistant systems mainly try to prevent accidents. Increasing built-in car technology also extends the potential applications in vehicles. Future cars might have virtual windshields that augment the traffic or individual virtual assistants interacting with the user. In this paper, we explore the potential of an assistant system that helps the car’s occupants to calm down and reduce stress when they experience an accident in front of them. We present requirements from a discussion (N= 11) and derive a system design from them. Further, we test the system design in a video-based simulator study (N= 43). Our results indicate that an accident support system increases perceived control and trust and helps to calm down the user.
Durch den technischen Fortschritt in der Spracherkennung und -verarbeitung wird Sprache als Interaktionsform auch in Fahrzeugen, z.B. zur Bedienung von Infotainmentsystem, immer populärer. Die Steuerung von teilautomatisierten Fahrzeugen über Sprache ist bisher wenig erforscht. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es unter der grundsätzlichen Annahme der Eignung von Sprachsteuerung für teilautonome Fahrzeuge, Nutzererwartungen und spezielle Anforderungen an eine Sprachsteuerung für die grundlegenden Fahrmanöver zu identifizieren. Aus den Ergebnissen eines Expertenworkshops und einer explorativen Videostudie werden Anforderungen und Sprachkommandos abgeleitet.
