The UnScripted Trip: Fostering Policy Discussion on Future Human-Vehicle Collaboration in Autonomous Driving Through Design-Oriented Methods
Xinyan Yu, Julie Stephany Berrio Perez, Marius Hoggenmüller +4
The rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies is fundamentally reshaping paradigms of human-vehicle collaboration, raising not only an urgent need for innovative de…
Multi-Modal Camera-Based Detection of Vulnerable Road Users
Penelope Brown, Julie Stephany Berrio Perez, Mao Shan +1
Vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists represent more than half of global traffic deaths, yet their detection remains challenging in poor lig…
Mixed Signals: A Diverse Point Cloud Dataset for Heterogeneous LiDAR V2X Collaboration
Katie Z Luo, Minh-Quan Dao, Zhenzhen Liu +9
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) collaborative perception has emerged as a promising solution to address the limitations of single-vehicle perception systems. However, existing V2X data…
Towards Adaptive External Communication in Autonomous Vehicles: A Conceptual Design Framework
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Judy Kay, Stewart Worrall +6
External Human-Machine Interfaces (eHMIs) are key to facilitating interaction between autonomous vehicles and external road actors, yet most remain reactive and do not account for…
Understanding Pedestrian Gesture Misrecognition: Insights from Vision-Language Model Reasoning
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Xinyan Yu, Callum Parker +3
Pedestrian gestures play an important role in traffic communication, particularly in interactions with autonomous vehicles (AVs), yet their subtle, ambiguous, and context-dependent…
Animal Interaction with Autonomous Mobility Systems: Designing for Multi-Species Coexistence
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmueller +5
Autonomous mobility systems increasingly operate in environments shared with animals, from urban pets to wildlife. However, their design has largely focused on human interaction, w…
