Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC) is the leader of work package 3, responsible for coordinating the evaluations of the developed prototypes in computer simulations, driving simulators and real-road demonstrators. They are conducting a driving simulator study to evaluate the acceptance and usability of the Mediator system and its functions respectively. Matthias Beggiato (WP3 leader) was …

Local news stations paid attention to the MEDIATOR project in the past week as the TU Chemnitz research team is currently looking for participants to take part in a driving simulator study. The participants can try out the intelligent assistance system themselves and evaluate the innovative display and operating concept. Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC) is involved in the MEDIATOR project …

Our team at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), is conducting various driving simulator experiments to evaluate MEDIATOR’s HMI concept of preventive and corrective mediation. We focus on assessing the effects of driver distraction and driver fatigue on driving performance under partial automation conditions with and without the HMI. MEDIATOR is a significant project that exploits the …

Drivers of partially automated vehicles (PAVs) are relieved from parts of the driving tasks allocated to the automated driver. Ironically, these drivers are obligated to continuously monitor the driving task at all times and keep their attention on the roadway. This reduction in the driving task's demands and cognitive workload may encourage drivers to engage with non-driving related tasks …

MEDIATOR is developing a system that mediates between human driver and the vehicle automation to ensure safe, real-time switching between the two, based on who is fittest to drive. Currently, the prototypes of the four main system components and their integration are getting shape. Here we briefly introduce the driver state component with the key concepts of fatigue, distraction and comfort. The …

On 16th of November 2021 the third Advisory Board meeting took place online. As our AB members come from all over the world, two meetings were held to accommodate for the timezone differences. In the morning session the scientific experts Satoshi Kitazaki from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan), David Shinar from the Ben-Gurion University (Israel) and Ann …
