Project description
Making car interfaces cooperate with pedestrians
In most current cars, human–machine interfaces (HMI) have limited understanding of the intentions of pedestrians and vehicles in the surroundings. This can lead to pedestrians being exposed to dangers and drivers being presented with distracting warnings. The EU-funded HEIDI project seeks to create a better HMI for vehicles that will adapt fluidly to situations. This cooperative HMI will be able to gather data from drivers and other road users and recommend the best joint action to prevent dangerous interactions. Since HMIs also communicate with the outside, all road users will share the same understanding of a driving situation, increasing safety. The project will test prototypes in real vehicles and simulated environments, in addition to creating recommendations for HMI standardisation.
