Short description of HF-ITS-TC

The IEEE-ITSS committee on Human Factors in Intelligent Transportation Systems was established in 2014

Goal

The TC Human Factors in Intelligent Vehicles aims to foster activities on issues related to human factors in the design and evaluation of intelligent vehicles technologies, in a wide spectrum of applications and in different dimensions. This TAC 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.

Scope

Whereas the feasibility of incorporating new technology-driven functionalities 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 accounted for, such as the impact technologies that support specific driving functions play on the primary task of driving the vehicle, as well as their impact on overall performance of transportation systems. 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 settings pose even more challenging issues.

Technologies that guarantee efficiency of use, comfort and user satisfaction are thus an important contribution towards a more conscious driving behaviour that directly results from the adoption of IV technologies.
