Abstract

This paper presents six interface concepts for Autonomous Vehicles to communicate their intention to Vulnerable Road Users. The concepts were designed to be scalable and versatile, and attempt to address some of the limitations of existing concepts towards an unambiguous communication. The interfaces exist currently as initial concepts generated from brainstorming sessions and are in the process of being validated through prototype development and controlled studies.
