AutoWork 2021: Workshop on the Future of Work and Well-Being with Automated Vehicles

The emergence of automated driving systems will influence roles and practices in many parts of work life. Human factors and user interface design will play an important role in shaping the transition towards more productivity and well-being. The AutoWork 2021 workshop builds on its predecessor workshops by refining a research agenda and drafting concrete research studies and projects towards achieving this goal. This year’s version will especially tackle the challenge of designing both for bottom-up “workerdriven” empowerment and engagement in individual, partly automated transport, as well as for supporting affected users and stakeholders in the systemic economically-driven introduction of fully autonomous vehicles in closed intralogistics areas. In a twosession schedule tailored to fit the requirements of an online event, participants will evaluate gathered requirements from previous workshops and projects on these topics and define relevant user stories and elaborate experimental designs with measurable outcomes to contribute to the research roadmap.
