Dialog with Trucks and ConAI: What role can conversational AI-agents play for truck drivers?

Welcome to a SAFER lunch seminar together with Johanna Vännström, Scania/TRATON! 

Abstract
Today’s AI-based conversational agents often lack situational awareness and insight into the driver’s current state. This presentation explores how such agents can enhance Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS, corresponding to SAE Level 1–2) in long-haul trucking.

We’ll share key findings from the recently concluded Dialog with Trucks project, which focused on creating natural dialogue flows between drivers and AI agents, and evaluating their impact on traffic safety, efficiency, and user experience.

We’ll also introduce ConAI, a newly launched initiative exploring how conversational agents can support truck drivers in understanding ADAS functionality. 

Dialog with Trucks was co-financed by VINNOVA via Advanced Digitalization and carried out by Scania/TRATON, Smart Eye, Nagoon, and KTH.

ConAI is co-financed by FFI and carried out by TRATON and RISE.

A warm welcome!
