An interactive design using human computer interaction for autonomous vehicles

Abstract

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques are gaining popularity in the automotive industry. The primary objective is this paper to discover ways how a User Interface (UI) in the vehicle can improve the driver's safety when using cell phones, and other electronic devices while driving. In this paper, we present a conceptual design that can be divided into three phases. The first phase 'Analysis' focuses on information retrieval and structuring. The second phase 'Design' gives a concrete interface implementation based on our results in phase 'Analysis'. The third phase 'Evaluation' performs a usability test on the implementation. In the 'Analysis' we develop a PACT analysis. In the 'Design' we explain the elements of our interface and give pictures to illustrate them. In the 'Evaluation' we execute a usability test in an imaginary driving situation using a paper prototype.
