TY - THES A1 - Rollwagen, Alice T1 - The influence of user personality on requirements for the communication of automated shuttle buses in the exterior N2 - The future of automated mobility aims to create significant opportunities for growth and prosperity for the population. An appropriate level of understanding of automated driving, especially in the context of automated shuttle buses, is crucial for improving road safety. Nevertheless, there are many constructs that attempt to predict the factors for people’s perception of automated shuttle buses, but there is no known study to date that has directly examined whether people’s personality traits influences the perception and interaction with such vehicles. This study examines the relationship between personality traits and people’s perception with fully automated shuttle buses. We conducted a study with 40 participants in a virtual CAVE to gain an in-depth understanding of the correlation between the Big Five personality dimensions and the factors influencing the perception of automated shuttle buses. We show that certain personality traits have a main effect on the influencing factors for automated shuttle buses. We found that four of the five dimensions of the Big Five have a significant impact on how people perceive the interaction with an automated shuttle bus. This is particularly seen in the context of Trust, Usability and Acceptance. The results showed that Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Extraversion had a positive effect on Technology Acceptance, while Neuroticism had a negative effect. Conscientiousness also had a positive effect on the Usability and Agreeableness and Extraversion a positive effect on Trust. Furthermore, it was found that for some personality traits (especially for Agreeableness) the presence of the eHMI has a very high moderate impact on the correlation with the influencing factors. The results are consistent with other studies relating to the Big Five and technology. Suggestions for future research are discussed.
