Course description
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles: Human Factors and Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
This course provides an introduction to the key subjects, disciplines and science used by Human Factors (HF) specialists, focusing on how they can be applied to the development of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs).
Split into 8 units, the course introduces each subject area and then explores a greater level of detail within each area. Each unit starts with an overarching understanding of the different sub-disciplines moving into tools and methods that can be applied at different stages of development of CAV features, products or services.
The knowledge from completing this course should be sufficient for learners to gain a high level understanding of the Human Factors domain and identify if and when it is appropriate to bring in the correct expertise to support the engineering development process.
