This article focuses on empowering front-seat passengers in luxury car journeys through infotainment systems and investigates how luxury can be manifested via new functionalities and interactions. It presents an experience prototyping study in which 27 participants tried out a VR-simulated design proposal for the front-seat passenger infotainment system within a travel scenario and reflected on their UX. The article suggests design recommendations to answer the user concerns and expectations revealed in the results, including the provision of enough margin of error in gestural manipulations, prevention of driver and passenger distractions, keeping up with the technology within car's life cycle, involvement in the journey, collaboration with driver and relatedness to social network. The article underlines that these expectations expand further in luxury cars with the search for digital upgrades, infotainment content with luxury symbolic value, and subtle technology integration to the luxury car interior. It finally provides a framework with various modes showing that front-seat passengers' expectations from the infotainment system change based on their relationships with the surroundings and the driver, and it offers design solutions to facilitate each mode.

Characterization of Driver Neuromuscular Dynamics for Human-Automation Collaboration Design of Automated Vehicles Lv, Chen; Wang, Huaji; Cao, Dongpu; Zhao, Yifan; Auger, Daniel J.; Sullman, Mark; Matthias, Rebecca; Skrypchuk, Lee; Mouzakitis, Alexandros (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-12-01) In order to design an advanced human-automation collaboration system for highly automated vehicles, research into the driver's neuromuscular dynamics is needed. In this paper, a dynamic model of drivers' neuromuscular interaction with a steering wheel is first established. The transfer function and the natural frequency of the systems are analyzed. In order to identify the key parameters of the driver-steering-wheel interacting system and investigate the system properties under different situations, experim...
Design decisions on automobile driver interface with regard to subjective evaluations of users Altaş, Aylin; Asatekin, Mehmet; Department of Industrial Design (2006) This study analyzes the users’ expectations from automobile interface in terms of their subjective assessments and middle class automotive design. The factors that affect the users’ impressions in both physical and psychological manner are presented. The importance of subjective users’ expectations and the issue of usability, which is handled from the traditional definition through the pleasure in use context, are discussed. The correlations between the physical appearance and psychological and behavioral r...
Design of smart controllers for hybrid electric vehicles Özen, Ekin; Dölen, Melik; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) This thesis focuses on the feasibility of designing a commercial hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). In this work, relevant system models are developed for the vehicle including powertrain, braking system, electrical machines and battery. Based on these models ten different HEV configurations are assembled for detailed assessment of fuel consumption. This thesis also proposes a smart power management strategy which could be applied to any kind of HEV configuration. The suggested expert system deals with the exte...
Passenger’s State of Mind: Future Narratives for Semi-Autonomous Cars Şen, Güzin; Umulu, Sıla (2021-09-09) This online workshop invites participants to elaborate the infotainment systems of semi-autonomous cars with passengers’ priorities in mind and develop quick auto-UI solutions by utilizing “passenger infotainment modes”. These modes represent a front-seat passenger's changing relations with the driver, the surroundings, and the infotainment system. There can be various strategies for an automotive user interface to adapt to these diverse situations where the passenger prioritizes one agent over the other (e...
Design Methodologies of a Distributed Propulsion Aircraft Fouda, Mahmoud; Haq, Rameezul; Naeem, H Nabih; Saeed, Muhammad Asif; Wanyonyi, S Nafuna; Cigal, Nazlıcan; Beker, Can; Yayla, Metehan; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (null; 2019-09-20) This paper discusses the conceptual design of a hybrid thin haul air taxi. It presents a design methodology for a distributed propulsive hybrid aircraft highlighting the differences in design procedures between conventional design and hybrid distributed propulsion design. In addition, it demonstrates the impact of both hybridization and distributed propulsion on the reduction of direct operating cost for operators. The aim of the design is to offer a better alternative aircraft to serve the emerging new mar...
