Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a promising form of intelligent transportation, highly automated and autonomous vehicles have shown the potential to revolutionize our transportation systems. Considering that the roles of human drivers and passengers is still of critical importance, the focus of our attention shifts from the sheer feasibility of automated driving (AD) to the different facets of human factors in this field.
To better understand this human–machine system and relevant requirements, different research has been done. We need to comprehensively consider human-related issues to achieve possible innovations and overcome potential human discomfort. The major goal of AD is to ensure a safe, pleasant and sustainable/efficient driving experience, for both passengers and other road users.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the ongoing developments, new projects, current achievements and future perspectives of automated driving, from a human-centric perspective. Researchers are welcome to contribute original research or review papers. The major topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Comfort in automated driving;
- Usability of automated driving HMIs;
- eHMI;
- Interaction with other road users;
- Effects of automated driving on driver status;
- Automated driving for professional drivers;
- HMI design strategies.
