HMI design is an Interdisciplinary, which is based on human cognitive psychology and combines humanities, sociology, aesthetics, information science and other disciplines. While automotive technologies can be applied regardless of regions, HMI must be localized, as it is closely related to regional culture, people's living habits and characteristics. At the same time, HMI design has its own complete theoretical system, research and design methods and testing methods, instead of relying on experience. The purpose of this course is to equip people involved in the automotive industry with a basic sense of HMI design of vehicles. HMI design is a highly practical subject, so for each topic, 1/3 of the teaching time will be spent in explaining the theory, and 2/3 of the time will be spent in guiding students to do practice. There will be several classroom experiments, and students will complete the tasks in groups to The principal functions of the pneumatic tire are to generate driving, braking, and cornering forces while safely carrying the vehicle load and providing adequate levels of ride comfort. This course explains how tire forces and moments are generated under different operating and service conditions and, in turn, demonstrates how these forces and moments influence various vehicle responses such as braking, handling, ride, and high-speed performance. The content focuses on the fundamentals of tire behavior in automobiles, trucks, and farm tractors, but also includes experimental and empirical results, when necessary. The Pneumatic Tire, a 700-page E-book on CD, edited by Joseph Walter and Alan Gent is included in the course material.

Investigations can begin with the intent to blame and discipline which leads to adversarial relationships between management and employees. Organizations also tend to be very outcome biased – the more the incident cost, either in time or money, the more likely punishment of employees will occur. However, the way that companies treat their employees is evolving, and with a just culture, leadership makes a commitment to their employees to treat them with consistent fairness. Just culture changes the focus of investigations from the errors of specific individuals to organizational system The automated vehicle industry has been busy designing, developing, and deploying several self driving vehicles and services in the last few years. However, much of the outcomes and the overall outlook of the vehicle and services, such as robotaxis, are not great. Customers and stakeholders complain that the level of automation is low, mostly SAE Levels 1, 2, and very little of Level 3. It appears that Level 4 is far out in the horizon and many wonder if Level 5 is actually achievable. Customers complain that the levels of functionality, operability, performance, safety, reliability, and availability of the vehicles and the services they offer is rather poor with little signs of this improving drastically anytime soon. Automated vehicles running into parked police and ambulances, injuring and killing people, and not being widely accepted by the public are just sample of recent issues that continue to grow. The recent experience of Cruise and Waymo offering robotaxi services in San This eLearning course featuring vehicle dynamics expert and best-selling author, Thomas D.

The first aspect - known as functional safety - has been addressed by the industry for quite some time already and is described by the established ISO 26262 standard. The second aspect - referred to as safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) - however, is more of an emerging topic and corresponding standards are still under development. If you are looking for an introduction to the topic of SOTIF and related standardization activities, namely ISO 21448, ISO/TR 4804 (formerly known as Safety First for Automated Driving, SaFAD), enroll in this one-day training class.
