A stunning Master’s Degree about Car’s Human Machine Interface

WHAT IS PROBLEM

DESIGN DEFINITION

As people receive more and more information from the outside world, the vehicle—as a well-equipped and high technology carrier—must integrate this information explosion efficiently. The Human Machine Interface(HMI) is not only a communication bridge between the driver and the car itself, but is also a principle connector between the driver and outside world.

In the meantime, the relationships between in-car entertainment system and personal mobile information terminals are increasingly close, the iPhone and iPad play important roles in humans’ daily lives. The close integration of them will expand drivers’ human-machine experiences.

HOW TO DESIGN HMI

DESIGN PROCESS

Driving is one of the most complicated human activities throughout the world. Drivers’ behaviors are affected by a wide variety of impact factors both from the surrounding environment (e.g. weather, road conditions, traffic); and from drivers themselves (e.g. age, character, and driving habits).
