    We have our first journal paper on vStops out.

    Abstract: Shared automated mobility on-demand (SAMOD) is considered as a promising mobility solution in the future. Users book trips on-demand via a smartphone, and service algorithms set up virtual stops (vStop) where users then need to walk to board the automated shuttle. Navigation and identification of the virtual pickup location, which has no references in the real world, can be challenging. Providing users with an intuitive information system in that situation is essential to achieve high user acceptance of new automated mobility services. Our novel vStop human–machine interface (HMI) prototype for mobile augmented reality (AR) supports users with information in reference to the street environment. This work firstly presented the results of an online interview study (N = 21) to conceptualize an HMI. Secondly, the HMI was prototyped by means of AR and evaluated (N = 45) regarding user experience (UX), workload, and acceptance. The results show that the AR prototype provided high rates of UX especially in terms of high pragmatic quality. Furthermore, cognitive workload when using the HMI was low, and acceptance ratings were high. The results show the positive perception of AR for navigation tasks in general and the highly assistive character of the vStop prototype in particular. In the future, SAMOD services can provide customers with vStop HMIs to foster user acceptance and smooth operation of their service.

  • One Solution Fits All? Evaluating Different Communication Strategies of a Light-based External Human-Machine Interface for Differently Sized Automated Vehicles from a Pedestrian’s Perspective

    Differently sized automated vehicles (AVs) will enter the roads of tomorrow and will interact with other road users. Pedestrians as vulnerable road users heavily rely on the communication with other road users, especially for the interaction with larger vehicles, as miscommunication pose a high risk. Therefore, AVs need to provide communication abilities to safely interact with pedestrians. This study’s focus was on the explicit communication which is highly relevant in low-speed and low-distance traffic scenarios to clarify misunderstandings before they result in accidents. External human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) placed on the outside of AVs can be used as a communication tool to explicitly inform the surrounding traffic environment. Although research manifested effects of vehicle size on pedestrians’ perceived safety and crossing behavior, little research about the eHMI design for differently sized AVs exists. This experimental online study (N = 155) aimed at investigating the application of a light-based eHMI on two differently sized AVs (car, bus) by focusing on the overall goal of ensuring traffic safety in future traffic. The light-based eHMI showed different communication strategies, i.e., a static eHMI and three dynamic eHMIs. The results revealed that an automated car was perceived as safer and affectively rated as more positive compared to an automated bus. Nevertheless, no significant differences were found between the two AVs in terms of the eHMI communication. A dynamic eHMI was perceived as safer and evaluated affectively as more positive compared to a static eHMI or no eHMI for both AVs. In conclusion, the use of a light-based eHMI had a positive effect on pedestrians’ interaction with an automated car and an automated bus and, therefore, could contribute to the overall traffic safety in this study. Implications for the design of eHMIs for differently sized AVs were discussed.

    Autonome und vernetzte Fahrzeuge können in naher Zukunft die meisten Aufgaben bereits selbstständig bewältigen. Noch schaffen sie es allerdings nicht, alle Verkehrssituationen zu meistern. Treffen sie auf ein Problem, bei dem sie nicht weiterwissen, geht Sicherheit vor. Meistens bedeutet das: an den Straßenrand fahren und anhalten. Um solche Situationen in Zukunft sicher und schnell zu lösen, forscht das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) an der Teleoperation dieser Fahrzeuge. In unklaren Situationen kann das autonome Fahrzeug dann Unterstützung durch Teleoperation bei einer Technischen Aufsicht anfordern

    Wir freuen uns, Teil des neuen Projektes KIS’M in Berlin zu sein, zu dem wir das Konzept der Technischen Aufsicht / Remote Operation beisteuern. #HMI@DLR

    In KIS‘M wird ein KI-basiertes System für eine vernetzte Mobilität erprobt, das die Herausforderungen des autonomen, fahrerlosen und bedarfsgerechten Betriebs in dynamisch wachsenden Bediengebieten bewältigt. Besonders wichtig sind dabei die nutzerzentrierte Umsetzung, die nahtlose Vernetzung im zukünftigen Mobilitätssystem und eine gesellschaftlich akzeptierte Zielvorstellung der Mobilität von morgen.

    Der fahrerlose Bedarfsverkehr soll unter Berücksichtigung des neuen StVG erfolgen. Dafür sind geeignete Mensch-Maschine-Interaktionen der technischen Aufsicht, an der virtuellen Haltestelle und in den Fahrzeugen zu entwickeln. Die Vernetzung automatisierter Fahrzeuge soll die Sicherheit und den Fluss des Verkehrs auch in einem Mischsystem verbessern. Dazu zählen die intensive Erprobung kooperativer Manöver, V2X/V2I-basierter Verkehrssteuerung, die KI-basierte Ableitung von Karten und Verkehrsinformationen. Darüber hinaus zielt KIS’M besonders auch auf die Ableitung einer Rolloutstrategie ab.

    New mobility solutions should facilitate the transport of people and freight, while taking account of the need for climate protection. In addition to decarbonisation, such approaches include improving public transport and shared mobility services, so that total vehicle traffic is significantly reduced. According to the project partners, vehicle concepts for passenger and freight transport will mostly have electric powertrains and a high degree of automation. GAIA-X 4 ROMS is laying the foundations for the integration of innovative vehicles into the overall system. The project partners are now developing the first specific technology modules to implement vehicle-based mobility concepts for passengers and freight, and presenting them within the GAIA-X community.

    Remote operation is available when automated vehicles reach their system limits. This distributed approach to the system architecture enables the necessary cooperation between different stakeholders. Overall, it allows the creation of a system that facilitates mobility, reacts flexibly to the specific needs of users and protects the climate at the same time. We’re contributing the approach to remote operation to GAIA-X 4 ROMS. #HMI@DLR
