Automotive User Interfaces in the Age of Automation
Special Issue for it - information technology
Aim of the Special Issue
--------------------
In the area of automotive user interfaces (research) a lot changed
during the last few years and since the last “it - information
technology” special issue on automotive user interfaces in 2012. Given
the expected shift towards automated driving, the rising importance of
climate change, and the appearance of novel mobility forms, new
challenges and opportunities for research have appeared. A lot of
research activities shifted from investigating how to support
interaction in and around manually driven cars towards understanding how
to design vehicles in the transition towards automation and with
alternative propulsion technologies from a human perspective. This
relates both to interaction aspects inside and outside of the vehicle.
Looking at the interaction within the car, novel HCI aspects refer, for
example, to the design of control transitions between driver and vehicle
and how to support non-driving-related tasks once the driver can assume
a passenger role in the (partly) automated car. Especially with a
gradual transition towards automated driving, we see many challenges on
how to shift responsibilities between the car and the driver or how to
implement shared control. This also involves aspects on creating and
maintaining situational awareness and especially finding solutions to
establish and maintain trust while leveraging user acceptance of
automation technology.
Furthermore, the role of infotainment becomes even more important as we
can imagine that the interior may convert into a mobile office, living
room, dining room, or maybe even support relaxation and sleeping - at
least in the far future. This inevitably translates to a need for
rethinking the interior, finding novel interaction concepts, and
investigating how, for instance, novel materials, shape change, or novel
user interfaces can assist drivers and passengers and make the ride more
comfortable.
Once the car takes over control, another arising challenge is the design
of the communication with other road users such as pedestrians, cyclists
or drivers of manually driven cars: As the driver does not have to
monitor the road and may be involved in non-driving-related activities,
other road users may lose the ability to communicate with the driver
(e.g. through gestures and gaze) and technical solutions may be needed
to replace this traditional form of communication. The influence of such
communication concepts on the driving behavior, traffic flow, and their
social acceptability can play an important role in future traffic
situations.
As the major research direction has significantly changed since the last
IT special issue on this topic, with this prospective special issue on
automotive user interfaces in the age of the (almost) automated vehicle,
we want to give an overview of hot topics in this field and outline the
current challenges and research directions as mentioned above and
specified in the exemplary list topics outlined below.

Scope
-----------
In this special issue, we especially invite researchers, scientists,
developers, and practitioners to submit contributions that are original
and unpublished and have not been submitted to any other journal,
magazine, or conference. We are soliciting original research related to
automotive user interfaces in the age of automation including - but not
limited to - the following:
* human-computer interaction related aspects of automotive user
interfaces in the transition towards automated driving
* user experience and usability
* novel approaches & technologies
* human factors
In detail this could be related for instance to:
* Interaction within the car
+ Non-Driving-Related Activities
+ Take-Over Requests / Control Transitions
+ Interaction modalities and novel interiors, e.g.,
* In-vehicle displays, including AR, 3D, HUD, …
* Physiological interfaces
* Affective computing & emotions
* Haptic interfaces
* Shape-changing interfaces and novel materials
* Multimodal interfaces
+ Infotainment Systems & Passenger Entertainment
+ Driver Assistance
* Interacting with other road users
+ Interaction between cyclists and pedestrians and automated vehicles
+ Interacting with (other) automated vehicles & drivers
* Shared control and authority
* Mixed traffic scenarios
* Mode and situation awareness
* Vehicle-infrastructure interaction
* Legal issues and legislation
* Theories and research methods
* Acceptance, trust and complacency
* Interfaces and system that support sustainable and economic driving
