Abstract
The use of authonomous vehicles (AVs) offers possibilities
for providing improved passenger experience and comfort
as well as independent travel for persons with different
types of impairments. This paper provides an analysis of
ergonomic principles related with vehicle interiors, as well
as principles of inclusion. This is done with the goal to
withdraw key recommendations that need to be applied in
the design process. Those recommendations are
systematized as a list divided in several categories and
organized in a manner that is easily understood and
applicable in the vehicle interior development. In addition,
this paper presents the design process of a self-driving
shuttle interior in order to illustrate the practical
application of the provided lists of ergonomic and inclusive
principles and highlight their importance.
