Bridging Worlds: Augmented Reality for Pedestrian-Automated Vehicle Interactions

This thesis explores how automated vehicles will interact with pedestrians in the urban environment through augmented reality technology. Nine distinct AR interfaces were designed, developed, and evaluated to assess how different design elements (symbols, text, colour) and distinct mappings of the AR (on the road, on the vehicle, or head-locked)...

Augmented reality concepts for pedestrian-vehicle interactions: An online study

Nine AR interfaces designed using an experience- based, and theoretically informed design approach, were presented in an online questionnaire for user evaluation.<br/>Statistical analysis of presented measures, and the computation of an overall composite score revealed a preference towards traditional and familiar traffic elements.

Enhancing the transport IoT of the future: towards extended reality HMIs

This project aims to explore whether augmented reality (AR) technology is suitable for communication between automated vehicles (AVs) and vulnerable road users (VRUs).<br/>Several AR designs have been proposed, and user tested to measure factors such as interpretability, and trust, with increasing ecological validity.
