The integration of automated vehicle (AV) technology in public transportation systems offers promising opportunities to improve the flexibility and safety of the traffic environment. However, user acceptance remains a critical challenge in the field of human-machine interaction for the effective deployment of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). This study presents a design framework aimed at enhancing user acceptance through human-machine interface (HMI) design tailored to SAVs. The framework is developed in adherence to relevant interaction design principles, following a systematic approach encompassing three key steps: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It integrates user acceptance factors into the design process, providing a structured method for designers. The framework was iteratively refined through interviews with three international domain experts; a focus group discussion with 10 researchers and professionals specializing in automotive interaction designers; and a workshop with 30 students and designers. The results demonstrate the framework’s ability to guide the development of user-acceptable HMI solutions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for further exploration into how user acceptance factors evolve over time and how real-world testing can validate the framework’s effectiveness in promoting user acceptance and satisfaction.

Abstract
The integration of automated vehicle (AV) technology in public transportation systems offers promising opportunities to improve the flexibility and safety of the traffic environment. However, user acceptance remains a critical challenge in the field of human-machine interaction for the effective deployment of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). This study presents a design framework aimed at enhancing user acceptance through human-machine interface (HMI) design tailored to SAVs. The framework is developed in adherence to relevant interaction design principles, following a systematic approach encompassing three key steps: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It integrates user acceptance factors into the design process, providing a structured method for designers. The framework was iteratively refined through interviews with three international domain experts; a focus group discussion with 10 researchers and professionals specializing in automotive interaction designers; and a workshop with 30 students and designers. The results demonstrate the framework’s ability to guide the development of user-acceptable HMI solutions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for further exploration into how user acceptance factors evolve over time and how real-world testing can validate the framework’s effectiveness in promoting user acceptance and satisfaction.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
