************************************************************************1st WORKSHOP ON HUMAN FACTORS IN INTELLIGENT VEHICLES(http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/HFIV12/)
To be held at the 2012 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, IV’12June 3-7, 2012, Alcalá de Henares, Spain(http://www.robesafe.es/iv2012/)*********************************************... DEADLINE: March 2nd, 2012 AIM AND SCOPE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------This workshop is supported by IEEE ITS Society’s Artificial Transportation Systems and Simulation (ATSS) Technical Activities Sub-Committee. It is the first edition to be co-placed with the 2012 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, to be held in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, June 3-7, 2012. The Workshop on Human Factors in Intelligent Vehicles (HFIV’12) aims to foster discussion on issues related to the analysis of human factors in the design and evaluation of intelligent vehicles (IV) technologies, in a wide spectrum of applications and in different dimensions. It is expected to build upon a proper environment to disseminate knowledge and motivate interactions among the technical and scientific communities, practitioners and students, allowing state-of-the-art concepts and advances to be further developed and enhanced. IV technologies have experienced a great improvement in the last couple of decades, turning vehicles into more interactive counterparts in transportation and mobility systems. However, the impact of such technologies on traffic awareness for the driver and driver’s behavior towards improving driving performance and reducing road accidents still demands proper tools and approaches. While the feasibility of incorporating new technology-driven functionality to vehicles has played a central role in the automotive design, not always safety issues related to interaction with the new in-vehicle systems have been taken into consideration. Additionally, other aspects are equally important and need to be analyzed, such as the impact technologies that support specific driving functions play on the overall driving task, as well as their impact on the transportation system overall performance. Besides current industrial achievements that feature today’s vehicles with a number of important driving assistance systems, the perspective of autonomous driving vehicles populating urban environment pose even more challenging issues. Thus, the information and functionality that relies on new ways of communication has to be presented in a non-intrusive way that complies with specific design requirements. A system that guarantees efficiency of use, comfort and user satisfaction can contribute to a more conscious driving behavior that would directly result from the adoption of IV technologies.
TOPICS OF INTEREST-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The HFIV’12 welcomes and encourages contributions reporting on original research, work under development and experiments of different fields related to Human Factors. Some topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Intelligent user interfaces * Human-machine interaction * Human-in-the-loop simulation * Cognitive aspects of driving * Human behavior and capability, affecting system’s design and operation * Modeling and simulation in driver’s behavior analysis * Tools and approaches to analyze human factors * Ergonomics of traveler information systems * Behavioral elicitation and influence * Anthropometric layout of vehicular technical systems * Methodologies to optimize overall system performance * Mixed Reality * Cross-Cultural Design * Augmented Cognition * User Experience and Usability * Computer Aided Ergonomics Analysis * Cognitive Modeling * Effects of in-vehicle systems on driver performance * Tools and methodologies for usability assessment * Input/Output modalities in system ergonomic design
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PUBLICATION-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Prospective authors are invited to submit contributions reporting on their current research and ideas that motivate discussion during the workshop. Each paper will be analyzed by the International Program Committee according to their relevance and potential contribution. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings in a digital format and will be made available to the participants of all the workshops at the IV'12. Authors must follow the IEEE Conference format in the preparation of their manuscriptsof maximum 6 pages in standard IEEE double column PDF format via email to the workshop organizers for peer-review by the workshop International Program Committee.All accepted papers will imply that at least one of the co-authors attends the workshop to present the work. Authors will be given a certain time to orally present their papers and discussion will be actively motivated among attendees. Camera-ready manuscripts must be sent to the workshop chair due on April 15th, 2012. Further and up-to-date information can be found on the official web site of the workshop at http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/HFIV12/.
