Abstract

The design of road-vehicle systems has a crucial impact on the driver’s user experience. A post-market trial-and-error approach of the product is not acceptable, as the cost of failure may be fatal. Therefore, to design a suitable system in the automotive context that supports the driver during their journey in an unobtrusive way, a thorough survey of human factors is essential. This article elucidates the broad issues involved in the interaction of road users with intelligent vehicle technologies and summaries of previous work, detailing interaction-design concepts and metrics while focusing on road safety.
