The integration of human factors (HF) knowledge is crucial when developing safety-critical systems, such as automated vehicles (AVs). Ensuring that HF knowledge is considered continuously throughout the AV development process is essential for several reasons, including efficacy, safety, and acceptance of these advanced systems. However, it is challenging to include HF as requirements in agile development. Recently, Requirements Strategies have been suggested to address requirements engineering challenges in agile development. By applying the concept of Requirements Strategies as a lens to the investigation of HF requirements in agile development of AVs, this paper arrives at three areas for investigation: a) ownership and responsibility for HF requirements, b) structure of HF requirements and information models, and c) definition of work and feature flows related to HF requirements. Based on 13 semi-structured interviews with professionals from the global automotive industry, we provide qualitative insights in these three areas. The diverse perspectives and experiences shared by the interviewees provide insightful views and helped to reason about the potential solution spaces in each area for integrating HF within the industry, highlighting the real-world practices and strategies used.
翻译:在开发自动驾驶车辆(AVs)等安全关键系统时,整合人为因素(HF)知识至关重要。确保在整个AV开发过程中持续考虑HF知识对于这些先进系统的效能、安全性和可接受性具有多重重要意义。然而,在敏捷开发中将HF作为需求纳入具有挑战性。近期,有学者提出需求策略以应对敏捷开发中的需求工程难题。本文通过将需求策略概念作为研究AV敏捷开发中HF需求的视角,确定了三个研究领域:a) HF需求的所有权与责任归属,b) HF需求及信息模型的结构,c) 与HF需求相关的工作流程与功能流的定义。基于对全球汽车行业专业人士进行的13次半结构化访谈,我们在这三个领域提供了定性分析。受访者分享的多元观点与实践经验提供了深刻见解,有助于推演各领域中整合HF的潜在解决方案空间,并揭示了行业实际采用的方法与策略。
