IN-VEHICLE HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE: INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF TACTILE DISPLAYS ON INFORMATION PRESENTATION IN AUTOMATED VEHICLES

In-Vehicle Human Machine Interface: Investigating the Effects of Tactile Displays on Information Presentation in Automated Vehicles

Background: Semi-autonomous vehicles still require human drivers to take over when the automated systems can no longer perform the driving task.Objective: The goal of this study was to design and test the effects of six meaningful tactile signal types, representing six driving scenarios (i.e., navigation, speed, surrounding vehicles, over the speed

Noninvasive imaging of vascular inflammation

In large-vessel vasculitides, inflammatory infiltrates may cause thickening of the involved arterial vessel wall leading to progressive stenosis and occlusion.Dilatation, aneurysm formation, and thrombosis may also ensue.Activated macrophages and T lymphocytes are fundamental elements in vascular inflammation.The amount and density of the inflammat
