Assessing User Perceptions and Needs for AI-Assisted Micro-Mobility and Teleoperation
This research project aims to enhance the safety and usability of micro-mobility and autonomous vehicle systems through the development of advanced human-machine interfaces (HMIs). AI-assisted visual, auditory, and tactile interfaces that provide real-time road and environmental information will be evaluated in both direct operation of micro-mobility devices (e.g., e-scooters) and remote operation scenarios. This work aims to contribute to the advancement of inclusive and adaptive transportation technologies for safer, smarter, and more efficient mobility systems.
USDOT Priorities:
This project aligns with USDOT priorities by advancing equitable, safe, and sustainable transportation through the development of AI-assisted multimodal HMIs for micro-mobility and autonomous systems.
University:
San José State University
Principal Investigator:
Gaojian Huang, PhD
PI Contact Information:
San Jose State University
Funding Source(s) and Amounts Provided (by each agency or organization):
$6,749 (federal)
Total Project Cost:
$6,749
Agency ID or Contract Number:
69A3552348328
Dates:
January 2025 to September 2025
Implementation of Research Outcomes:
This project is expected to produce at least one peer-reviewed journal publication in the human factors and transportation domains, targeting reputable journals such as Human Factors, Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, or Accident Analysis & Prevention. Additionally, initial discussions with professors and researchers in Europe have been conducted to explore potential international collaborations, which could lead to joint research initiatives and broader impact in the field.
Impacts/Benefits of Implementation:
The outcomes of this project will directly contribute to improving transportation safety, accessibility, and efficiency. The research findings could inform industry best practices and influence regulatory standards for safe HMI design in next-generation vehicles, as well as guide policy development aimed at integrating safer and more inclusive mobility solutions, supporting long-term improvements in system reliability, cost-efficiency, and sustainability.
