AWARE2ALL human centric interaction and safety systems for increasing the share of automated vehicles

Abstract. The AWARE2ALL project is designed to address the new challenges of Highly Automated Vehicles (HAVs) from a human-centric perspective. These vehicles will allow occupants to engage in non-driving activities, rising research questions about occupant behavior, activities, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to keep them aware of the situation and the automation mode. The project aims to ensure safe operation of HAVs by developing safety and HMI systems that provide a holistic understanding of the scene. This includes continuous mon-itoring of the interior situation and advanced passive safety systems for occupant safety, as well as a surround perception system and external HMI for the safety of Human Road Users (HRUs). AWARE2ALL is paving the way for HAV de-ployment by effectively addressing changes in road safety and interactions be-tween different road users caused by the emergence of HAVs. It is developing innovative technologies, assessment tools, and methodologies to adapt to new scenarios in mixed traffic. The project builds on previous research and aims to mitigate new safety risks associated with the introduction of HAVs.摘要。AWARE2ALL项目旨在从以人为中心的视角，应对高度自动驾驶车辆（Highly Automated Vehicles，HAVs）带来的全新挑战。此类车辆允许乘员参与非驾驶类活动，由此衍生出一系列研究议题：包括乘员行为、活动模式，以及用于保障乘员掌握场景态势与自动驾驶运行模式的人机交互界面（Human-Machine Interfaces，HMI）。本项目旨在通过开发安全系统与人机交互界面系统，实现对场景的全方位感知，以此保障高度自动驾驶车辆的安全运行。相关研发内容涵盖：车内态势的持续监测、面向乘员安全的先进被动安全系统，以及面向道路使用者（Human Road Users，HRUs）安全的环视感知系统与外部人机交互界面。AWARE2ALL项目正通过有效应对高度自动驾驶车辆普及所引发的道路安全变革与不同道路参与者间的交互模式变化，为高度自动驾驶车辆的落地部署铺平道路。项目正开发创新性技术、评估工具与方法论，以适配混合交通场景下的全新交通情境。本项目基于前期研究成果，旨在缓解高度自动驾驶车辆普及所带来的新型安全风险。
