Shaping the Future of Mobility

Abstract

As mobility systems evolve, so too do the complexities surrounding automated vehicle integration within public spaces. Future mobility technologies must not only enhance passenger experiences but also communicate effectively with vulnerable road users, like pedestrians. The design of automated vehicle communication systems will impact public trust and behavioral predictability, bridging human-vehicle interaction gaps and reshaping urban transport.

At one end, AVs require robust, explainable interfaces that provide insight into automated vehicle decisions, promoting trust and situational awareness. For pedestrians and other non-vehicle users, automated vehicles must offer intuitive signals that inform safe interactions without overwhelming or confusing the public. At the other, simulator-based design testing will need to emulate complex real-world scenarios, providing data for personalized automated vehicle adaptations that cater to diverse user needs and cognitive states. This talk will draw on methods for developing inclusive, scalable automated vehicle communication strategies and personalizing system responses, aiming to set a foundation for adaptive, user-centered mobility ecosystems that meet the needs of all users鈥攂oth within and outside the vehicle. Future directions involving other mobility forms will be explored.

About the speaker

Mark Colley's (University College London) multidisciplinary research in HCI, Accessibility, and Computational Modeling and Simulation is dedicated to tackling complex challenges and seizing opportunities within advanced mobility technologies. It involves designing, implementing, and testing novel simulators to study futuristic mobility scenarios.

His work aims to address issues such as undertrust in automated vehicles and to enhance accessibility in urban (air) mobility, thereby supporting societal and industrial growth. A significant portion of his research focuses on evaluating innovative interaction paradigms between automated vehicles and vulnerable road users, utilizing empirical evidence alongside simulation-based approaches to analyze their broad-scale impacts.

SIGCHI and UCL Computer Science named Mark Colley the Emergent Researcher of the year 2025. He is also an editorial board member of IMWUT, IJHCS, and Behaviour & Information Technology and serves frequently as an organizer for various conferences like CHI. His co-founded startup Zefwih has won several prizes and support from the German government.
