Acceptance of automated vehicles in mixed traffic
Studies in driving simulators are used to examine driver intentions and desired driving behavior with the aim of identifying confident, predictable driving behavior. Minimal risk maneuvers and compliant behavior are also analyzed to increase acceptance and safety. The projects aim to increase the acceptance of automated vehicles in mixed traffic.

What is the best way to impart knowledge about the vehicle?
With the increasing automation of vehicles, the challenge of making complex systems understandable to users is growing. The SALSA project is developing innovative learning concepts that impart knowledge in a needs-based, safety-promoting and user-friendly way. The aim is to strengthen trust in the technology, avoid misuse and increase acceptance of automated mobility.

The Future of Automated Driving: User State Detection as the Key to Safety and an Personalized User Experience
Accurate detection of the user’s state is crucial for safety and comfort in automated driving. In the SALSA project, we are developing AI-supported systems that detect attention, sleepiness and the willingness to drive. This enables vehicles to adapt to each user, enhance safety, and deliver an optimal driving experience – ranging from smart interior design…

External communication between autonomous vehicles and human road users – eHMI in the SALSA Project
Autonomous vehicles must communicate safely with pedestrians and cyclists. In the SALSA project, researchers are developing innovative external human-machine interfaces (eHMI) to clearly convey driving intentions. With studies, prototypes and user surveys, concepts are being developed that improve acceptance and road safety. Initial results are being presented at events and to experts.

Relaxed arrival at your destination: Automated driving will enable you to sleep while driving
Automated driving could make it possible to sleep while driving. In the SALSA project, researchers are developing a holistic sleep concept with ergonomic seating solutions, gentle waking methods and measures to counteract sleep inertia. These are tested in driving simulators and on test tracks to improve comfort and safety – for a relaxed and restful…
