Distracted driving is a pressing issue in the United States, resulting in more than 3,000 annual fatalities. This alarming statistic underscores the critical need for enhanced safety measures on our roadways. Paradoxically, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), designed to increase safety, have been found to inadvertently foster driver complacency, thus exacerbating the risk to road safety.Read more

New technologies such as touchscreens have enhanced the user experience in cars, but these experiences suffer in relation to mechanical switches when it comes to providing the tactile feedback that drivers need to be able to operate these controls without taking their eyes off the road. Haptics (the science of touch) has evolved beyond simple “vibration” effectsRead more

The future of connected services in the automotive industry is on the brink of a transformative era, characterized by dynamic and innovative solutions. This evolution is primarily steered by advancements in automation, connectivity, and sustainability. This session will cover some of the key trends and best user-focused technologies shaping the future of in-car payment services.Read more

To better understand the comfort perception of aircraft passengers, the ComfDemo project was set to measure the effect of environmental conditions on passenger comfort with an ATR72 aircraft. The instrumented test consisted of two flights of 70 minutes with each 50 participants each, who answered several comfort questionnaires. Additionally, recordings were made of the usingRead more

A diverse range of interior sensing methods, including cameras, radars, and other alternative sensors are already equipping vehicles on our roads today. To ensure driver safety, these technologies are developed to observe driver and occupant actions, as well as cognitive states, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of his/her fitness to operate a vehicle.
