Project

Full title: Safe chauffeurs in safe and healthy multimodal driver information environments

The Screens II project aims to improve traffic safety by addressing the challenges posed by increased automation in the driver’s environment. It will achieve this by developing methodology and evaluation platform for user studies, increasing knowledge of the impact of digitization on traffic safety, and developing measurement and evaluation methods to improve the understanding of new digital driver environments. Additionally, the project will provide recommendations for the design of Human Machine Interaction (HMI) and physical parameters of displays and user interfaces to improve the safety, health, and comfort of the driver. The project includes innovative technology such as an Augmented Reality Head-Up Displays, eye-tracking control of HMI, and methods to understand how digitization affects perception, cognition, HMI, and traffic safety. The primary beneficiaries of the project are the automotive industry, drivers, and other road users.
