Autonomous parking system user interface – assessment of visual behavior

Urban comfort and safety go along with travel and traffic management for the cities. Facing automatization of transport brings necessity for the ITS solutions to provide efficient communication between vehicles, infrastructure and other traffic participants. Parking in the cities is a daily travel related task. Efficient automated parking solutions can contribute to individual time management as well as to reduction of traffic flow that is connected with parking spot search - especially in big cities. User acceptance of new technologies that arise with automated driving depends on their usability and interface. This paper presents a pilot demonstration of automated parking function with a mobile app interface. Observation of visual behavior (eye tracking) provide analyses of automated parking function and mobile app of modified electric prototype of e-vehicle "Skoda Rapid".
