Problem definition

The diversity of users and traffic situations places high demand on the adaptability of display and operating concepts in automated vehicles. A rigidly defined system could be incomprehensible or impractical for many users, which would jeopardize acceptance and safety.


Solution approach

In this subproject, a flexible, adaptive display and control concept is being developed that dynamically adapts to the needs of the user. This includes both the design of the vehicle interior and exterior and the development of intuitive, context-sensitive user interfaces.

In addition, interaction strategies are being designed that enable clear and standardized communication between the vehicle and external road users. The approach integrates visual, acoustic and haptic feedback mechanisms to ensure clear communication in various traffic scenarios.


Aim

The focus here is on the development of a flexible and adaptable human-machine interface (HMI) that can respond to the individual needs and situations of users. Communication with the vehicle’s environment is also taken into account with the help of an external HMI (eHMI), thus enabling comprehensible interaction between the driver, the vehicle and other road users.
