    8th Workshop Automotive HMIs: UI Research in the Age of New Digital Realities
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Workshopband, 2019) Riener, Andreas; Geisler, Stefan; Pfleging, Bastian; von Sawitzky, Tamara; Detjen, Henrik
    Even though many aspects of automated driving have not yet become reality, many human factors issues have already been investigated. However, recent discussions revealed common misconceptions in both research and society about vehicle automation and the levels of automation levels. This might be due to the fact that automated driving functions are misnamed (cf. Autopilot) and that vehicles integrate functions at different automation levels (L1 lane keeping assistant, L2/L3 traffic jam assist, L4 valet parking). The user interface is one of the most critical issues in the interaction between humans and vehicles – and diverging mental models might be a major challenge here. Today’s (manual) vehicles are ill-suited for appropriate HMI testing for automated vehicles. Instead, virtual or mixed reality might be a much better playground to test new interaction concepts in an automated driving setting. In this workshop – motivated by the conference theme – we will look into the potential of new digital realities for concepts, visualizations, and experiments in the car, e. g., by replacing all the windows with displays or transferring the entire environment into a VR world. We are further interested in discussing novel forms of interaction (speech, gestures, gaze-based interaction) and information displays to support the driver/passenger.

    Supporting Cyclists through Hazard Notification Systems: Insights from the Evaluation of Notification Modalities with a Head-mounted Wearable System
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) von Sawitzky, Tamara; Grauschopf, Thomas; Riener, Andreas
    Bicyclists belong to vulnerable road users (VRUs) and are increasingly involved in accidents. As accidents pose a significant risk to their safety due to the lack of protection from the bike or clothing, there is a need for effective measures to enhance bicyclists’ safety. While road infrastructure improvements can play a role, they are often challenging to implement and costly. In this paper, we propose the use of smart wearables as a solution for providing hazard notifications to cyclists. Specifically, we focus on the application of different systems, including augmented reality (HoloLens) and virtual reality (VR headset, CAVE), and present preliminary results from evaluations conducted on real roads, including closed test tracks. In this workshop, we will present our findings and progress to date in using these technologies to improve cyclist safety. We believe that by usign smart wearables, cyclists are better able to recognize and manage hazardous situations, leading to a reduction in accidents and improved safety outcomes.

    Workshop on Intelligent Cyclist Support Systems and Applications
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Workshopband, 2021) von Sawitzky, Tamara; Wintersberger, Philipp; Matviienko, Andrii; Löcken, Andreas; Riener, Andreas; Michahelles, Florian
    Although the number of cycling accidents increases, technology to improve traffic flow and safety was predominantly researched in the context of motor-powered vehicles in the past. While new assistance systems are being installed for driving safety in passenger cars, a similar development is lacking for bicycles. Although cycling support systems are slowly becoming an important research topic, there is still limited work addressing intelligent and collaborative applications for bikes. In this workshop, we will discuss and prototype potential intelligent support systems and their applications in the cycling domain. Our goal is to bring cycling and technology enthusiasts together to discuss and develop possible intelligent support systems that can enhance the cycling experience and make bikes a safer mode of transport.
