Trust and Safety in Autonomous Mobility Systems: A Human-centred Approach

这个项目旨在了解信任、安全和公众对无人驾驶汽车的接受度之间的联系。自主移动系统的采用依赖于公众的信任。最近的受伤，甚至是一起死亡事件，都突显了它们对行人构成的风险。该项目通过允许车辆与周围的人交流，研究新的接口，以提高公众信任和行人安全。在此过程中，它开发了一种经过验证的方法，用于在虚拟现实环境中模拟与自动驾驶车辆的真实交互。好处包括使无人驾驶汽车对行人更安全的战略，以及以低成本、低风险的方式测试这一新问题的解决方案的新方法。

This project aims to understand the link between trust, safety, and the public acceptance of driverless cars. The uptake of autonomous mobility systems relies upon public trust. Recent injuries, and even a fatality, have highlighted the risks they pose to pedestrians in particular. The project investigates new interfaces for improving public trust and pedestrial safety by allowing vehicles to communicate with the people around them. Along the way, it develops a validated approach for simulating real interactions with autonomous vehicles in a virtual-reality environment. Benefits include strategies for making driverless cars safer for pedestrians and a new approach for testing solutions to this emerging problem in a low-cost, low-risk way.
