HMI Engineering for Autonomous Vehicles (Levels 2–4) — handover, trust, explainability, and supervised driving.
About us HMI Engineering for Autonomous Vehicles (Levels 2–4) — handover, trust, explainability, and supervised driving.
HMI engineering for autonomous vehicles (Levels 2–4) is essential for optimizing human-machine interaction in ADS systems with supervised driving, including advanced handover management, user trust, and algorithm explainability. This field integrates technical areas such as adaptive control, multisensory perception, haptic interfaces, and confidence algorithms based on predictive models, applying methodologies such as SIL, HIL, and real-time simulation to validate the safe transition between autonomous and manual modes. In addition, interpretable machine learning tools, ergonomic design influenced by standards such as ISO 9241, and functional certification frameworks in accordance with international standards are utilized.
The laboratory’s capabilities include interoperability testing of LiDAR, radar, and camera sensors, real-time monitoring with advanced data acquisition, and failure analysis in simulated environments, ensuring traceability in accordance with ISO 26262 and applicable international regulations for functional safety in autonomous vehicles. Alignment with standards promotes the development of specialized roles such as ADAS systems engineer, HMI validation specialist, functional safety analyst, embedded software developer, and regulatory compliance auditor, strengthening the sector with multidisciplinary profiles focused on mobility
