Human Machine Interface
Connected Automated Vehicles promise a range of potential benefits. Realizing these objectives hinges on proper interaction of these vehicles with their drivers as well as other human road users. In S+M.ai we offer strategic, technical & operational guidance on driver behavior under different traffic scenarios, characterize how transportation system reacts to CAVs’ different driving behavior, & equip CAVs with accurate models of human behavior to safely & efficiently navigate in mixed traffic environments.


90%
More than 90% of motor vehicle crashes on US roads in 2019 were tied to human errors.
2030
Human-driven vehicles will still contribute to nearly 50% of the vehicles by 2030.
52%
52% of people believe that automated vehicles still require some level of human control.

Key Areas of HMI Services
In-Vehicle Human
Machine Interaction
Humans should effectively interact with CAVs (machines) in a predictable way. It is important to understand how Human-Related Parameters (such as distractions, impairments, & driving style) & Machine-Related Parameters (such as ADAS & AV disengagement) could potentially impact general driving behavior in transportation networks.
Vehicle & Human-Road-User Interaction
CAVs should effectively interact with nearby human actors, predict their actions, & behave in a socially predictable way. It is important to not only equip CAVs with the required techniques to safely & efficiently operate in mixed traffic environments, but also characterize their potential impact on general behavior of human road users in future transportation systems.
