Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advent of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs), advanced rider assistance systems (ARASs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) has led to significant interest in leveraging human–computer interaction (HCI) principles to optimize the interaction between drivers or riders and their vehicles. In particular, (semi-)autonomous vehicles need to interact with humans in different situations and by different means, ranging from communicating with the human who is driving to coordinating with other human-driven vehicles on the road.

This Special Issue on applications of human–computer interaction in driving aims to collect cutting-edge research and innovative applications that explore the intersection of HCI and automotive technology. It focuses on highlighting the potential for enhancing safety, comfort, and overall driver experience through the application of modern methodologies, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, predictive control, optimal control, etc.

This Special Issue brings together researchers from both academia and industry, across diverse disciplines, to present their latest findings, methodologies, and case studies in this rapidly evolving field.

The issue covers of a wide range of topics related to applications of HCI in driving, including, but not limited to:

  1. Driver assistance systems and transition between autonomous and manual driving;
  2. Application of autonomous vehicle control strategies focusing on human acceptance;
  3. Driver behavior analysis and intentions modeling;
  4. Human-in-the-loop driving simulations;
  5. Driver monitoring through biological and vision-based signals;
  6. In-vehicle infotainment systems and ADAS interfaces;
  7. Ethical considerations and user experience.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
