An important field of current research is that of the design and implementation of socalled “intelligent” human-machine interfaces (HMI). This article reviews a number of concepts concerning so-called “intelligent” interfaces, taking as its starting point the well-known ARCH model of HMI, with particular concern for the ability of such interfaces to be flexible, adaptive, tolerant of human erro...

We investigate the accuracy to which we can retrieve the solar photospheric magnetic field vector using the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) that will fly onboard of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) by inverting simulated HMI profiles. The simulated profiles realistically take into account the effects of the photon noise, limited spectral resolution, instrumental polarization modulati...

Let K be a field of characteristic not two or three with an involution and F be its fixed field. Let Hm be the F -vector space of all m-square Hermitian matrices over K. Let ρm denote the set of all rank-one matrices in Hm. In the tensor product space ⊗ k i=1 Hmi , let ⊗ k i=1 ρmi denote the set of all decomposable elements ⊗ k i=1 Ai such that Ai ∈ ρmi , i = 1, . . . , k. In this paper, additi...

Zur Realisierung moderner grafischer Benutzeroberflächen (GUIs) sind verschiedene Technologien und zugehörige Modellierungswerkzeuge am Markt verfügbar. Für eine vollständig modellgetriebene Entwicklung von Benutzerschnittstellen (HMI) im Automobil fehlen diesen jedoch Ausdrucksmittel zur Beschreibung des Dialogfluss, der internen HMI-Abläufe und ihrer Schnittstellen zu separat entwickelten Sof...

This paper presents a tool that allows the integrated development of multimodal dialog systems. We show how graphical/haptical and speech interface can be designed in an integrated way, which is in contrast to many state-of-the-art HMI design processes. Graphical/haptical and speech interface are often designed more or less independently of each other, which can result in inconsistencies of var...

While model-based testing is widely-used for function tests, testing the human-machine interface (HMI) remains a manual, demanding and time consuming task. Numerous research efforts have been addressing model-based HMI testing in the last years. However the existing approaches cannot serve our test purposes or needs. In the research project at AUDI AG a model-based testing approach is proposed ...

In the last decade European accidentology data, divided per mode of transport, have shown the increasing relevance of safety for Vulnerable Road User (VRU). In particular Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) accidents are increasing both as number of events and as percentage of the total fatalities. The European Community has promoted and co-financed several research projects to promote the development an...

This paper presents a methodology for achieving functional safety for an automated driving system (SAE Level 4) with respect to safe transitions between the driver and the system. Safety analysis and assessment of an implementation example show how to allocate safety requirements on HumanMachine Interface (HMI) components to handle the risks of unfair transition, mode confusion and stuck in tra...

Software testing is usually used to report and/or assure about the quality, reliability and robustness of a software in the given context or scenario where it is intended to work. This is specially true in the case of user interfaces, where the testing phase is critical before the software can be accepted by the final user and put in execution mode. This paper presents the design, and the later...
