Evaluating HMI-Development Approaches from an Automotive Perspective

The automotive industry faces several challenges regarding the design and development of new driver-vehicle interaction concepts. Suitable development approaches aim to increase effectiveness and efficiency, two aspects required for sustainable business. In order to revise applied development approaches and to adapt them appropriately, potential challenges need to be identified and analyzed beforehand. Therefore, a sophisticated method is proposed, combining objective data and expert insights. While doing so, the applied structure supports the generation of a holistic view on potential challenges. Additionally, the devised method is applied, and relevant challenges are identified. Subsequently, implications are derived and potential consequences for existing development approaches are discussed.
