VCC’s utmaningar => OPTIVe
Förebygga och undvika incident/kollision
Driver workload and distraction studies have led to a greater awareness for safety in HMI designs.
Background for OPTIVe
•
The introduction of new warning and information
systems in vehicles places high demands on the
interaction between the driver and the vehicle.
•
An HMI that exceeds customer expectations, that
is transparent to the user, and that fully supports
the users in accomplishing their goals provides a
foundation for minimizing driver workload.
•
Not only is the packaging of HMI devices essential
to improve safety while interacting with a car. Also
regulating the flow of information to a level that
will not interfere with the primary task, driving the
car, is crucial for product development.
•
The purpose of this project is to develop methods
and technical concepts that supports integration of
HMI systems in vehicles.

Purpose & Objectives
Purpose
• To investigate, evaluate and demonstrate methods and technical
solutions for safe, efficient, and cost effective integration of HMI
systems in cars.
Objectives
• Increased safety due to reduction of driver mental and visual
distraction
• Increased effectiveness of complex driver dialogues, within safety,
infotainment and telematic systems
• Intuitive human-machine-interface despite continuing functional
growth. Consolidated number of driver controls.
• Prioritized and scheduled driver information to encourage "hands on
the wheel and eyes/mind on the road".

Examples on OPTIVe deliverables
•
Transport policy objectives
– A multimodal IVIS concept with integrated active safety settings.
– More functions and features can be handled and it can handle functional
growth.
– Speech and haptic feedback will make it easier to do car- and personal
settings while driving.
– A new driver information module will in the near future make it easier to
understand and handle active safety systems and it will take care of the
functional growth
– A new Green driving concept is developed. Research shows that green
driving support also have effect on traffic safety due to more planned and
calmer driving.
– New logic and added system functions for the Advanced Interaction
Manager – AIM raises new possibilities to integrate e.g. nomadic devices
and use map data and that will have effect on road safety.
– HMI solutions and requirements have affected the electrical architecture
and a significant work has been done to design and integrate systems and
functions for today needs and to meet the future.

• USI (User Information and Interaction, allt
EFESOS
Development HMI)
Projektpartners:
Volvo Personvagnar, Semcon AB, HiQ,
Viktoria Institute, VTI, LTU, LiU, CTH
• Säkerhet, miljö, effektivitet osv. skall samsas
och integreras inom samma displayer och
reglage.
• Samma metoder och verktyg används.
• Därför måste dessa tre projekt samordnas för
att balansera systemlösningar i bil.

EFESOS Project Purpose
EFESOS aim to study, investigate, evaluate and demonstrate methods and technical
solutions for:
• Environmental Friendly Efficient Enjoyable and Safety Optimized Systems, (from a
driver and user perspective)
• HMI Methods & Tools, and
• Customer needs and want’s
EFESOS is also an “umbrella” project that:
• gather different HMI related projects at VCC, and at strategical partners, institutes and
universities
• get the most exchange and results of core and applied research
EFESOS Project objectives are to:
• Improve, optimize and support development and implementation of HMI in vehicle in
the area’s of:
–
•
Interface and Modalities, Behaviour, Safety, Green, Connected
Contribute and augment the skills, knowledge and competence for the involved
partners, universities and institutes so the region can compete on the global arena.
Other motivators are to:
• Create scenario, use cases and take care of different market needs, (e.g China, US
and Europe)
• Build simulation models, concepts for evaluations in e.g. usability lab and real driving
• Create cross collaboration for applied research regarding HMI and other domains
• Utilize results in product development within early advanced engineering projects
