Automotive infotainment systems have neglected front-seat passengers’ needs as they have not been the primary users of the car. Recently R&D efforts in academia and the automotive industry have been directed towards empowering front-seat passengers. Front-seat passengers can spend substantial time in the car accompanying the driver, but without having sufficient means to entertain themselves. This paper first briefly introduces the (front-seat) passenger-oriented studies in automotive user experience (UX) literature and concept cars presented in several automotive or technology shows in 2015-2016. The identified solutions are then categorized based on the varied dimensions of the infotainment experience. This helps the understanding of diverse aspects of the innovations including: novelties in in-car interactions based on embodiment of interaction technologies; new functionalities/infotainment features; and hedonic or pragmatic contributions to the passenger experience. However, there is still a need to investigate the link between the dimensions of front-seat passenger experience to prevent the users being exposed to underexplored technology-driven designs.

String Stability Under Actuator Saturation on Straight Level Roads: Sufficient Conditions and Optimal Trajectory Generation Bingol, Hilal; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2022-01-01) The heterogeneity of vehicles is an important factor when realizing cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) in practice. Specifically, it has to be considered that platoons generally consist of vehicles with both different dynamic properties and actuator limits on the engine and braking force, which is expected to have a negative impact on important properties such as string stability. Accordingly, the subject of this paper is the preservation of string stability for CACC in heterogeneous vehicle strings...
Experience prototyping through virtual reality head-mounted displays: Design appraisals of automotive user interfaces Şen, Güzin; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2022-01-01) © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.This paper investigates virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR-HMDs) as immersive and interactive media to simulate how new automotive user interfaces will contribute to passengers’ user experience (UX) through experience prototyping of a conceptual infotainment system for front-seat passengers. It first demonstrates the integration of VR-HMDs into experience prototypes through (1) identification of what to prototype by deconstructing the syste...
Approximate models and solution approaches for the vehicle routing problem with multiple use of vehicles and time windows Boer, Jeroen Wouter de; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008) In this study we discuss the Vehicle Routing Problem with multiple use of vehicles (VRPM). In this variant of the routing problem the vehicles may replenish at any time at the depot. We present a detailed review of existing literature and propose two mathematical models to solve the VRPM. For these two models and their several variants we provide computational results based on the test problems taken from the literature. We also discuss a case study in which we are simultaneously dealing with side constrain...
Telegram Scheduling for the Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB): Algorithms and Evaluation Çaǧlar Güldiken, Mustafa; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2020-07-01) © 2020 IEEE.Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) is a highly robust real-time field bus for rail vehicles. On MVB, periodic process data and sporadic message data are transmitted in the form of telegrams. The main focus of this paper is the development of heuristic scheduling algorithms for periodic telegrams on MVB. We first propose two heuristics that find the best location of individual telegrams in the MVB schedule based on different criteria. Then, we introduce a new swap operation that allows improving MVB...
Realistic Simulation of IEEE 802.11p Channel in Mobile Vehicle to Vehicle Communication Islam, Tarikul; Hu, Yongchang; Onur, Ertan; Boltjes, Bert; De Jongh, J. F. C. M. (2013-04-18) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is becoming an important paradigm, because of its ability to enhance safety and to mitigate congestion on road traffic scenarios. Realizing the fact that data collection scheme from in-situ test beds for large number of vehicles is always expensive and time consuming, before being employed in large scale, such safety critical system should be tested narrowing down the gap between real circumstances and analytical models in a simulation platform. It is evident that un...
