Safe ChauffeuRs in safe and hEalthy multimodal drivEr information eNvironmentS (SCREENS II)

Purpose and goal:

The project aims to solve problems related to the increasing automation in the information environment and increase safety in traffic.

The goal is to develop methods, tools and guidelines as well as knowledge and understanding to support the Swedish automotive industry in creating road-safe and healthy digital driver environments. Expected results and effects:

The project contributes to more efficient energy use by CMS reducing the air resistance of the side mirrors, and to road safety through potentially reduced distraction and a better user experience that contributes to increased use of driver assistance systems. This is made possible by improved user interfaces. The project focuses on SAE level 2-3 driver assistance systems as well as safety and security aspects linked to human-system interaction, as well as methods and tools for this development.

Approach and implementation:

The project has been organized into five work packages (WP). WP 1 handles the project management. In WP 2, an analysis of needs and specification of use cases will be made and the methods to be used will be developed.

In WP 3, the experimental information environment will be built up so that it becomes as relevant as possible for the user studies in WP 4. The work in WP 4 will focus on carrying out a number of user studies which will be the main way to build up new knowledge in this project. In WP 5, demonstrations and dissemination of results will be carried out.
