contents Human-machine Interface (HMI) is critical for safety during automated driving, as it serves as the only media between the automated system and human users. To enable a transparent HMI, we first need to know how to evaluate it. However, most of the assessment methods used for HMI designs are subjective and thus not efficient. To bridge the gap, an objective and standardized HMI assessment method is needed, and the first step is to find an objective method for workload measurement for this context. In this study, two psychophysiological measures, electrocardiography (ECG) and electrodermal activity (EDA), were evaluated for their effectiveness in finding differences in mental workload among different HMI designs in a simulator study. Three HMI designs were developed and used. Results showed that both workload measures were able to identify significant differences in objective mental workload when interacting with in-vehicle HMIs. As a first step toward a standardized assessment method, the results could be used as a firm ground for future studies.
