AIM AND SCOPE
--------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop is promoted by IEEE ITS Society's Artificial
Transportation Systems and Simulation (ATSS) Technical Activities
Sub-Committee. It is the second edition to be co-placed with the 2013
IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, to be held in the Gold Coast,
Australia, June 23-26, 2013.
The Workshop on Human Factors in Intelligent Vehicles (HFIV'13) aims
to foster discussion on issues related to the analysis of human
factors in the design and evaluation of intelligent vehicles (IV)
technologies, in a wide spectrum of applications and in different
dimensions. It is expected to build upon a proper environment to
disseminate knowledge and motivate interactions among the technical
and scientific communities, practitioners and students, allowing
state-of-the-art concepts and advances to be further developed and
enhanced. IV technologies have experienced a great improvement in the
last couple of decades, turning vehicles into more interactive
counterparts in transportation and mobility systems. However, the
impact of such technologies on traffic awareness for the driver and
driver's behavior towards improving driving performance and reducing
road accidents still demands proper tools and approaches. While the
feasibility of incorporating new technology-driven functionality to
vehicles has played a central role in the automotive design, not
always safety issues related to interaction with the new in-vehicle
systems have been taken into consideration. Additionally, other
aspects are equally important and need to be analyzed, such as the
impact technologies that support specific driving functions play on
the overall driving task, as well as their impact on the
transportation system overall performance. Besides current industrial
achievements that feature today's vehicles with a number of important
driving assistance systems, the perspective of autonomous driving
vehicles populating urban environment pose even more challenging
issues.
Thus, the information and functionality that relies on new ways of
communication has to be presented in a non-intrusive way that complies
with specific design requirements. A system that guarantees efficiency
of use, comfort and user satisfaction can contribute to a more
conscious driving behavior that would directly result from the
adoption of IV technologies.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------------------------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit contributions reporting on
their current research
and ideas that motivate discussion during the workshop. Each paper
will be analyzed by
an International Program Committee according to their relevance and potential
contribution.
Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings in a
digital format and will be published in IEEE explore.
Selected high quality papers of the Workshop will have a publication
opportunity in a special issue of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation
Systems Magazine.

Authors must follow the IEEE Conference format in the preparation of
their manuscripts
of maximum 6 pages in standard IEEE double column PDF format via the
Papercept system for peer-review by the workshop International Program
Committee.
The code to upload the papers is the following: 31mbi
All accepted papers will imply that at least one of the co-authors
attends the workshop to present the work. Authors will be given a
certain time to orally present their papers and discussion will be
actively motivated among attendees.

Camera-ready manuscripts must be sent due on February 28th, 2013.
Further and up-to-date information can be found on the official web
site of the workshop at
