The HADRIAN project investigates and defines the driver role for automated vehicles using a holistic user centered approach. ... It addresses shortcomings of current development and design processes to achieve high impact and wide-reaching acceptance of automated vehicles. The project is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program and represents a revolution in Human- Systems Integration for the definition of driver roles in automated driving. The HADRIAN project is led by Virtual Vehicle Research Gmbh and brings together 16 European partners from large industry, SME, academia and research, thus, covering properly the entire value chain. The HADRIAN project implements a novel approach to create automated driving systems that integrate human drivers, vehicles, and road infrastructure. HADRIAN partners design and validate novel, adaptive, and fluid Human-Systems Interactions that are enabled by advanced driver monitoring to reduce the interaction complexity and increase trust and acceptance of drivers and users. Also, active road Infrastructure Support Levels for Automated Driving (ISAD) are explored to increase the predictability of automated driving as well as support minimum risk maneuvers. Through such an integrated approach the problems of current driving automation systems will be addressed. Furthermore, this approach should provide a basis for pervasive and sustainable automated driving automation for European mobility needs. The results of the project will be demonstrated by the consortium partners using driving simulations and real vehicle demonstrators in closed-track and real-world traffic situations.
