Overview

An incremental but increasingly fast-paced revolution is taking place in our complex world: Automation capabilities of vehicles and development speed are growing, amplified with an even stronger push towards sustainability. As in these progressively more cooperative systems, humans, technical co-systems, organizations, society and environment all play their role to solve complex scenarios, a structured and integrated design is one of the keys to successful cooperation between automated vehicles and humans (as drivers, passengers and road users). This development not only carries risks, but also opens the opportunity to design systems, which are capable of dynamic cooperation instead of merely completing predefined tasks. 

In this workshop, we want introduce our human systems integration approach that we use in our research and design work, to design interactions for cooperative vehicles. We will be providing the tools and methods needed for a successful design process that integrates and balances the needs of experts, users and other stakeholders.

Requirements

There are no prerequisites for participating in this workshop. On the contrary, the nature of user interfaces, connecting the human with a technical system makes interdisciplenarity necessary. Thus, the workshop is directed at automotive engineers, interaction and user experience designers, systems engineers, psychologists, as well as interested researchers and developers of any field.
