Workshop on Prosocial Behavior in Future Mixed Traffic

“Prosocial Behavior‘‘ means cooperating and acting in a way to benefit others. Since more and more diverse road users (such as electronic bicycles, scooters, etc.) but also vehicles at different levels of automation are sharing the safety-critical …

Analysis of Experimental Data on Dynamics and Behavior of E-Scooter Riders and Applications to the Impact of Automated Driving Functions on Urban Road Safety

Testing and validation of automated driving functions represent major challenges for automobile manufacturers and other stakeholders. Simulation of automated driving functions in a virtual world has the potential to accelerate testing and improve the …

Augmentation Concepts with HUDs for Cyclists to Improve Road Safety in Shared Spaces

Exploiting the potential of automated vehicles and future traffic concepts like platooning or dynamic intersections requires the integration of human traffic participants. Recent research investigating how automated vehicles can communicate with …

Impact of Hand Signals on Safety: Two Controlled Studies With Novice E-Scooter Riders

The introduction of micro-mobility, such as e-scooters, brings new challenges. Nevertheless, these trend devices are spreading rapidly without a comprehensive study of their interactions with other road users. For example, many countries currently …

Increasing User Experience and Trust in Automated Vehicles via an Ambient Light Display

Today’s developments in the automotive industry are moving towards automated driving. At the highest levels, the driver becomes the passenger, which presents a new challenge for human-computer interaction. People not only have to trust in the …

How Should Automated Vehicles Interact with Pedestrians? A Comparative Analysis of Interaction Concepts in Virtual Reality

Automated vehicles (AVs) introduce a new challenge to human-computer interaction (HCI): pedestrians are no longer able to communicate with human drivers. Hence, new HCI designs need to fill this gap. This work presents the implementation and …
