HMI Design for V2X Communication Technology

Abstract

Have you ever encountered a situation when an e-scooter suddenly appeared out of nowhere while driving? E-scooters are becoming increasingly popular, meanwhile, they present new safety challenges for urban transportation, especially for car drivers. To address these challenges, this master’s thesis project focused on developing a collision warning system for cars that integrated with Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design principles. The objective is to increase the driver’s awareness and experience, consequently reducing the risk of collisions between cars and E-scooters. Through three design iterations, the optimal parameters for modality, form, and timing of collision alerts were explored, leading to the development of a final multi-modality HMI concept and guidelines for V2X collision warning design.
