1 Centre for Mobility and Transport A SEA Change in Mobility and Transport Safe Efficient Accessible Introducing the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Automotive Research

2 Realization Simulate, test and evaluate Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV). Research to accelerate new products and services in the CAV segment. Pipeline of talent to support growth.

3 Vehicle Dynamics and Safety 6 key groups impacting: Energy use Low carbon vehicle technologies, light weighting, behavioural change Smart Cities Design Human Systems Integration User experience Mobility, comfort, inclusiveness, human factors Safety Traffic accidents and fatalities, ADAS, sensing Cyber security Advanced Powertrain Security Connected Autonomous Vehicles, Assurance Future vehicles design Future mobility, materials & manufacturing, product evaluation

4 Centre for Mobility and Transport Art and Design, Engineering, and Computer Sciences Individual mobility Vehicle Design Transport systems

5 a joint Horiba MIRA, Coventry University initiative The Centre for Connected & Autonomous Automotive Research will pioneer and test new developments to support the rapid growth within the global intelligent mobility sector and address future transport needs.

6 Automated Vehicles Human Factors

7 Tactile Show And Hide Interface Concept of a tactile, show and hide control system for secondary in-car functions to reduce distraction and enhance the user experience

8 Comfort Experience in Automated Vehicles Ability to travel and engage in NDRT in comfort is non-trivial Unchanged safety requirements Ergonomic HMI design Loss of control Moving environment Main factors influencing comfort experience

9 Human-Centred Design of Last Mile Mobility Vehicles

10 Motion sickness in Automated Vehicles External HMI Requirements for Automated Vehicles Cotutelle (Double PhD) Design workshops for the development of external HMI concepts for autonomous pods VU Amsterdam University Coventry University Sponsored by Ford Europe Candidate receives a PhD from both institutes 4 years (one third in UK) Mode awareness (who is driving?) Behaviour awareness (what is the vehicle going to do?) Situation awareness (what does the vehicle see?)

11 Visual Appearance Beyond aesthetics: Exploring the different roles of the appearance (exterior design) and its impact on public s beliefs and attitudes towards automated vehicles Aesthetics Symbolism Functionality Ergonomics Categorisation Safety

12 Motion sickness in Automated Vehicles HMI Requirements for Automated Vehicles Cotutelle (Double PhD) User trials and design workshops to understand what information is required, where, when, how, and why VU Amsterdam University Coventry University Sponsored by Ford Europe Candidate receives a PhD from both institutes 4 years (one third in UK)

13 Automated Vehicles HMI TU/e research internship July November 2016 What information do people expect to receive when in automated mode and how do we present this?

21 UK CITE - Driver Information Provision WP9 Human Factors Traffic information provision integrated display, Head Up Display HMI design and evaluation Impact on driver behaviour Traffic Modelling Improved driver models used in microscopic traffic simulation (SUMO, AIMSUN)

22 How can we encourage drivers to follow instructions to avoid congestion? Partners: Coventry City Council, Coventry University, Horiba MIRA, Serious Games International (SGIL) Mobile app to encourage drivers to travel outside of rush hour by using local incentives (gamification) Coordinated traffic management strategy

23 CAV Expertise and Research Connectivity (protocol simulation) Cybersecurity (testing and design) Data fusion (spatial temporal correlation, crowd sensing) Traffic simulation and modelling (traffic simulation, driver models) Control systems (gear shifting, battery, fuel cell, regen braking, robotic) Control theory (model predic5ve control, PID, observer design, Kalman filtering, model order reduction, non linear systems) Human Factors (driver behaviour, comfort perception, HMI) Design (Human Centred Design, interior/exterior vehicle design, prototyping, visualisation)

24 Facilities Shaker Rig Wind & smoke tunnel Mercedes Petronas sub-sonic wind tunnel Thermal chamber Metrology laboratory Metal workshops Lathes, CNC machinery Rapid prototyping and laser cutters Hydraulics, flow channels and compression testing workshop Ethical hacking laboratory Pervasive computing laboratory High performance computing facility Aerospace simulation laboratory Mathematical sciences laboratory Driving simulator Fixed wing flight simulator Motion Lab - Motion (and load) Tracking for biomechanics capture Automotive clay studio 5-axis milling machines Eye tracking Usability Lab Immersive Environment Facility Physiological monitoring Psychological metrics

25 HORIBA MIRA PhD Collaboration Collaboration model whereby university PhD students are integrated into the business s structure and culture whilst preserving the academic rigour of the PhD and the value of freedom to explore new areas.
