Parametrizing an attention-guiding seating concept for conditionally automated driving

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

The attention-guiding seat is intended to make conditionally automated driving (equivalent to SAE-Level3) even more user-friendly and comfortable. In particular, the developed concept is intended to facilitate a more intuitive and safer take-over of the driving task for the driver. This is provided by a seat that turns the driver slightly inwards while driving automated, thus supporting comfortable use of the infotainment system or communication with passengers. If the driver needs to continue with the driving task, the seat turns the driver back to the steering wheel. Within the EU-funded HADRIAN-project, the kinematic parameters of this concept are being investigated and a prototype of the seat is being developed for testing in a highly dynamic driving simulator at the Institute for Automotive Engineering (ika) at RWTH-Aachen University.
