HMI & Driverless Car Technology Evolution
项目名称: HMI & Driverless Car Technology Evolution
摘要: Researchers, auto manufacturers, technologists and governmental agencies have expressed concern that vehicle automation may necessitate the introduction of added displays to indicate vehicle intent in vehicle-to-pedestrian interactions. Displays of various types have been demonstrated on prototype systems with limited specification around the need of road users. In short, a number of foundational questions around the non-verbal communication of drivers and pedestrians need to be answered to best assess the need for new external vehicle interfaces and if so, how to develop interfaces that enhance communication. For instance, many people appear to believe that in traditional non-automated vehicle-to-pedestrian interactions, pedestrians make eye contact with drivers as a key part of their crossing decisions. However, the degree to which pedestrians can effectively interpret driver�s attentional orientation at the ranges needed to inform non-signaled crossing decisions is an open question. In essence, is seeing a driver or their eye orientation in approaching vehicle a critical signal? This research will explore this question through a set of crowdsourced experiments that considers through the use of high resolution static imagery and the ability to perceive a drivers� presence in a car under different lighting conditions and ranges. In summary, this work aims to begin to develop a deeper understanding of the role of eye contact in crossing decisions.
