Project Description

This project develops new methods inspired by modern control theory, computational intelligence, and data mining, for the design of human-machine interfaces that adapt the dynamic response of the automobile to the driver, in order to enhance the driver’s experience and the automobile’s performance in the closed loop.

Research Goals

  • Integration of remote sensing and information processing for driver state inference
  • Application of adaptive feedback control for driver experience improvement
  • Development of displays and ambiance design
