Abstract
This project examines what is needed to develop an automated interior rear-view mirror (the in-cabin mirror used to see behind the car) that adjusts itself to the driver. We observed drivers on a set route to understand mirror use in city traffic. Across all participants, the required adjustment range was about 5 degrees on both the horizontal and vertical axes, and the mirror was used roughly once per minute. Based on these findings, we built a partial prototype and carried out a concept evaluation. Participants were positive about the idea, provided the product meets strict accuracy requirements. The broader vision is a car that adapts to the user rather than the user adapting to the car.
Dette projekt undersøger, hvad der skal til for at udvikle et automatiseret indvendigt bakspejl (spejlet inde i kabinen, som giver udsyn bagud), der selv tilpasser sig føreren. Vi observerede bilister på en fastlagt rute for at forstå, hvordan bakspejlet bruges i bytrafik. På tværs af alle deltagere lå det nødvendige justeringsområde omkring 5 grader på både den vandrette og lodrette akse, og bakspejlet blev brugt cirka én gang pr. minut. Med afsæt i disse fund byggede vi en delvist færdig prototype og gennemførte en koncept-evaluering. Deltagerne var positive over for idéen, så længe produktet opfylder krav til høj præcision. Den overordnede vision er en bil, der tilpasser sig brugeren frem for omvendt.
