SUpporting acceptance of automated VEhicle

General framework for ALFRED's future HMI. The deliverable will present the general concept that will take into account the inputs from the work on cognitive, emotional, road comfort, ambient comfort and also the acceptance factors identified in task T1.1 and T3.1. The main strategies of the concept of intelligent and multimodal HMI that will be acceptable to passengers will be presented. (T4.1.)

Definition of the limit ranges (room for manoeuvre) for those factors that affect passengers’ state and that can be controlled by ALFRED, as well as determine existing constraints in terms of safety, and selection of a first battery of passenger biometrics (ECG, breathing, temperature) and behaviour sensors (facial, gesture, voice) for feeding the passenger ALFRED empathic module input. (T3.1)

It includes the framework for the Evaluation activities of the project. Evaluations are crucial so documental, technical, ethical and human aspects will be necessary to define in order to accomplish all the goals pursued. (T6.1)

Reviewing the literature on the CAV and other relevant mobility innovations. Making a documentation of psychological factors predicting acceptability of CAV, linking it to key user groups (T1.1).

The representative ALFRED Use Cases must be well defined and depicted in this document. The entire different hypotheses coming from WP1 will define ALFRED Use Cases. This first identification of psychological factors that influence acceptance of CAV will be the main input to create the UC. (T6.1)
