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.g., co-navigating with the driver, enjoying the scenery without being interrupted by the system notifications, being immersed in a private bubble of entertainment). The workshop provides each team of participants with a future travel scenario and encourages them to enhance its narrative by defining possible activities or tasks delivered through automotive infotainment systems. Finally, these narratives are enriched further by addressing a selection of the passenger infotainment modes with new proposals for the auto-UI content, functionalities, or interactions.

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...
Mobility-on-demand scenarios relying on lightweight autonomous and connected vehicles for large pedestrian areas and intermodal hubs Kumru, Murat; Makarem, Laleh; Gillet, Dens (null; 2017-10-05) This paper presents Mobility-On-Demand (MoD) scenarios relying on lightweight autonomous and connected vehicles to ease commuting in large pedestrian areas and intermodal hubs. In particular, we discuss the case of the EPFL campus as an example of a large pedestrian area and the case of the main Zurich train station as an example of a large intermodal hub. These two scenarios help to investigate the potential benefits and the implementation challenges of innovative lightweight autonomous and connected vehic...
Contemporary automotive infotainment solutions to empower front-seat passengers Şen, Güzin; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Jump, Mike (2018-06-01) 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) l...
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...
