A Design Space for Advanced Visual Interfaces for Teleoperated Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are facilitating the development of a diverse set of applications, from human-less delivering to alternative mobility services. There are a variety of challenges for AVs that might be assessed and solved by remote operators, such as sensor data ambiguity, temporary changes to infrastructure, or unexpected interventions by other road users. With this paper, we propose a design space to support the development of appropriate user interfaces for remote situational awareness and teleoperation. The design space is envisioned to discover and evaluate design alternatives before the implementation and to provide a systematic approach towards the development of novel interfaces.
