Human Machine Interaction in Automated Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent human-machine interaction (HMI) plays an inseparable role in automated vehicles (AVs). With rapid advancements in the field of AVs, the intelligent HMI has piqued the public considerable interests. As a result, advanced interaction methods and interfaces have been investigated to enhance user experience, acceptance, and trust. A well-established HMI system requires that the AV can correctly infer the explicit and implicit interactive cues according to the cognitive state of the users and the dynamic contextual driving scenario leveraging the growing number of multimodal sensors. Therefore, it is underpinned by the coupling and coordinated developments in various related fields such as intelligent perception and control, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced sensing, wearable systems, and flexible electronics technologies. Although the research on HMI systems has made a remarkable progress in many tasks, there are still many unsettled issues needed to be further explored to attain harmonious interactive AVs. The objective of this Special Issue is to compile recent study and development efforts contributing to advances in intelligent approaches for HMI in AVs.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
