Designing the interaction of automated vehicles with other traffic participants: A design framework based on human needs and expectations

Kurzfassung

Automated vehicles (AV) will be integrated into mixed traffic environments in the near future. As human road users have established elaborated interaction strategies to coordinate their actions among each other, one challenge that Human Factors experts and vehicle designers are facing today is how to design AVs in a way that they can safely and intuitively interact with other traffic participants. This paper presents a design framework that is intended to support AV designers in reducing the complexity of the design space. The design framework is based on a literature review of common human-human interaction strategies and on traffic participants’ needs during interactions with AVs derived from existing research studies in the field, and results of the CityMobil2 project. From the CityMobil2 project we present central results from face-to-face interviews, an onsite-survey and two focus groups. From these results four categories of information are derived for the design Framework: information about vehicle automation status, information about AVs’ manoeuvres, information about AVs’ perception of the environment and information about AVs’ cooperation capabilities. The four categories define which information other traffic participants might require to coordinate their actions with the AV. We describe and rate different design options to present the information, including the design of the infrastructure, the vehicle shape, the vehicle manoeuvres and the external Human-Machine Interface (HMI) of the AV.
