MobiTAS: 8th International Conference on HCI in Mobility, Transport and Automotive Systems

Disruptive technologies in the field of mobility lead to new challenges for users.

Innovative means of transportation, which are characterized by technological, environmentally friendly or conceptual innovations, such as autonomous vehicles, air cabs or e-scooters, are becoming available. To achieve acceptance and safety of these systems, human-machine interaction must be completely rethought.

However, these modes of transportation must also be integrated into intermodal travel chains. Intelligent travel information systems are being developed to make it easier for travelers to plan, book, and complete an intermodal travel chain and to interact with the various systems.
