Wizards of WoZ: Using Controlled and Field Studies to Evaluate AV-pedestrian Interactions
Adjunct Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, September 2019, Utrecht, Netherlands; (bib)

Interactions between autonomous vehicles (AV) and pedestrians remain an ongoing area of research within the AutoUI community and beyond. Given the challenge of conducting studies to understand and prototype these interactions, we propose a combined full-day workshop and tutorial on how to conduct field experiments and controlled experiments using Wizard-of-Oz protocols. We will discuss strengths and weaknesses of these approaches based on practical experiences and describe challenges we have faced. After diving into the intricacies of different experiment designs, we will encourage participants to engage in hands-on exercises that will explore new ways to answer future research questions.
