Defining an Evaluation Method for External Human-Machine Interfaces

- 构建7维度223问评估问卷,覆盖可标准化、成本、易懂性等
- 实测4种方案+基线,发现动态驾驶+文字显示最优
- 揭示读取速度与理解差异的空白,适合交通人机交互研究者
随着自动驾驶车辆事故增多,亟需统一的车外人机交互(eHMI)通信方法。过去十年提出了众多eHMI方案,但尚未确定最优。本文提出包含223个问题的通用评估方法,分为7个维度:可标准化性、成本效益、可访问性、易理解性、多维度沟通能力、定位准确性和可读性。为验证该方法,对4个现有方案及仅使用运动姿态的基线方案进行了评估。结果表明,理想通信方式是精心设计的车辆运动与分布合理的文字显示相结合。同时,研究揭示了eHMI可读性及观察者学习速度方面的知识空白,论文进一步提出了相关未来工作方向及方法的后续测试计划。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As the number of fatalities involving Autonomous Vehicles increase, the need for a universal method of communicating between vehicles and other agents on the road has also increased. Over the past decade, numerous proposals of external Human-Machine Interfaces (eHMIs) have been brought forward with the purpose of bridging this communication gap, with none yet to be determined as the ideal one. This work proposes a universal evaluation method conformed of 223 questions to objectively evaluate and compare different proposals and arrive at a conclusion. The questionnaire is divided into 7 categories that evaluate different aspects of any given proposal that uses eHMIs: ease of standardization, cost effectiveness, accessibility, ease of understanding, multifacetedness in communication, positioning, and readability. In order to test the method it was used on four existing proposals, plus a baseline using only kinematic motions, in order to both exemplify the application of the evaluation method and offer a baseline score for future comparison. The result of this testing suggests that the ideal method of machine-human communication is a combination of intentionally-designed vehicle kinematics and distributed well-placed text-based displays, but it also reveals knowledge gaps in the readability of eHMIs and the speed at which different observers may learn their meaning. This paper proposes future work related to these uncertainties, along with future testing with the proposed method.
