| Automated Driving: A Human-Centered Design Perspective |
| Guest Editors: Andreas Riener, Alexander Mirnig |

| Submission deadline: June 15, 2018 (extended to June 30, 2018) |

--------------------| SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE |----------------------
Automotive user interfaces and automated vehicle technology pose several
challenges to support all diverse facets of user needs. These range from
inexperienced, thrill-seeking, young novice drivers to elderly drivers
with a mostly opposite set of preferences together with their natural
limitations.
Implementation-wise, the automotive industry is currently focusing on
pushing in-vehicle technology towards fully automated driving, with tech
companies joining these efforts to raise the technology to the readiness
level as quickly as possible. Consequently, commercial research toward
automated driving systems (ADS) is mainly focusing on an innovation-
driven and technology-centered perspective, frequently focusing on just
novelty-related factors. Aspects such as user experience, acceptance and
trust are often neglected or reduced to a secondary status and, thus,
underresearched. However, this human factor is critical for a comprehen-
sive and long term establishment of ADS technology on both the market
and within society. Therefore, it is of utmost important to understand
all the factors in the (context of automation) that have an impact on
the overall experience (UX) of and within an automated vehicle. This
includes operators of automated vehicles, vehicle passengers, and any
other traffic participants affected by automated vehicles. We believe
that there is an absolute need to focus on a human-centered design (HCD)
perspective to raise ADS innovation to the next level and, thus, to
achieve wide acceptance in society that is justified by an appropriately
sophisticated technology.
-------------------------| TOPICS OF INTEREST |-------------------------
The aim of this special issue is, thus, to discuss special requirements
of user centered design applied to automated driving (referring to SAE
automation levels 3 and above) to solve essential challenges and ident-
ify opportunities. To emphasize the need for a human-centered per-
spective on automated driving, we invite AutomotiveUI, CHI, and "Human
Factors" researchers and practitioners working in the field to submit
their research findings to this iCom special issue.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Designing user experience for automated driving
* Implications of human centered design for automated driving systems?
* Specific challenges of different levels of ADS on user centered design
* Application of user centered design approaches from other domains to
automated driving
* Acceptance criteria for (automated) driving systems on both individual
(driver) and societal levels
* Ergonomic aspects in highly automated driving
* Natural user interfaces in the automotive context
* Futuristic concepts of shared control, vehicle interior, & in-vehicle
non-driving-related (NDR) activities
* Interface concepts that address the transition from manual to fully
automated driving
* Hedonic and pragmatic qualities of driving experiences
* Methods for enabling and quantifying trust-in-automation
* Methods to foster driving pleasure and concepts for in-vehicle gaming
* Requirements for automated driving systems based on personality, age,
gender, culture, or other human-centered parameters
* Personalization of vehicle behavior and interfaces
* Driving simulator studies in the broader context of automated driving,
including combinations of different automation levels and involvement
of non-drivers
* User studies addressing automated driving within FOT/NDS
