Test procedure for the evaluation of partially automated driving HMI including driver monitoring systems in driving simulation

Abstract

The proposed test procedure presents an approach for the evaluation of the usability of partial automated driving HMI including driver monitoring systems in driving simulation. This procedure is based on a definition of requirements that a Level 2 HMI and its included driver monitoring system must fulfill in order to guarantee that the drivers understand their responsibilities of continuously monitoring the driving environment and the status of the partial automated driving system. These requirements are used to define the evaluation criteria that have to be validated in the test as well as the use cases in which these criteria can be assessed. The result is a detailed and comprehensive test guide including the specification of the test drives, the necessary instructions, the test environment and the recruiting criteria for the test sample. • Evaluation of usability aspects of level 2 automated driving HMI including driver monitoring systems • Based on the definition of requirements for L2 HMI • Test guide including the definition of use cases, evaluation criteria and testing conditions in driving simulation
