Abstract
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.
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.
