Fluid
Human-System Interaction

Symposium

June 4-5, 2025

A multi-disciplinary human-centric approach to meet modern road-user-needs and facilitate a trustworthy development of integrated human-technology systems for future mobility

What is Fluid Interaction Concept?

Fluid is a powerful metaphor that describes interaction concepts of next-gen human-machine interfaces that:​

Fluid Interaction is:

    Adaptive

    based on monitored data from user, vehicle and road conditions

      Simple and intuitive

      reduced learning efforts

        Lightweight on the user

        avoiding cluttered communications

          Natural

          supporting multi-sensory interaction

            Anywhere, anytime

            running in the background, but prompt on demand

            Topics

            • Fluid, collaborative human-system interaction concepts

            • Seamless interface adaptation to driver's state

            • Continuous integration of driver, vehicle, and road infrastructure data

            • Shared information with vulnerable road users to enable timely and safe joint actions in critical situations

            • Integration of internal and external vehicle interface for a shared understanding of intentions

            • European project HEIDI: Holistic and adaptivE Interface Design for human-technology Interactions (https://heidi-project.eu/)

            Main Questions

            Safety First

            What KPI can measure the effectiveness of fluid interaction?

            Standardization vs. Customization

            Is there a conflict? How can fluid interaction concept enable both?

            One-fits-all standard solutions vs. customized solutions

            Fluid interaction concept as key enabler?

            Dangerous HMIs

            Have we gone too far? Is fluid the necessary step back in the transition from tech-centered to user-centric interface design?

            Sustained interactions among road users

            Are we there yet?

             

             

            Do you have further questions? Doubts? Criticisms?

            Please, let us know and we will be happy to bring them to our experts!

            We will involve participants in the discussions throughout the whole event,

            and together we will produce the answers!

            Key Message

            Fluid human-machine interactions

            support driver's roles across automation levels​

            Multi-sensory displays

            allow information to flow and adapt to user’s needs​

            Effective driver’s tutoring

            on AD/ADAS is context-sensitive, step-by-step, personalized​

            Holistic integration

            of internal and external HMI provides shared understanding of road situations by all stakeholders​

            Coordinated information

            and joint action recommendation are the key to efficiency, comfort and safety​

            From internal to cooperative HMI

            Initially, the features of fluid interaction are implemented and evaluated in internal HMI to fulfill driver’s needs and roles in automated vehicles.

            Then, a fluid and collaborative architecture effectively gathers and synchronizes driver’s data and data from other road users to enable optimal joint action by all stakeholders via external HMI. In this way, all road users have the same understanding of the situation and cooperate for safe interactions between vehicles and e.g., pedestrians.​

             

            Fluid internal and external interfaces coordinate information and joint-action recommendations addressing all user categories, while adapting to their respective states and conditions like, e.g., distracted drivers and older pedestrians, to optimize efficiency, comfort and safety.
