Welcome to the Human Technology Interaction (HTI) module (WM992-15). We are pleased to have you on the course.
This Level 7 module introduces Human Technology Interaction (HTI) in the context of Smart, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (SCAV). The module explores HTI requirements from multiple stakeholder perspectives and draws on key disciplines including human factors, psychology, human–machine interface (HMI) design, business, and ethics. You will examine how human behaviour, trust, wellbeing, distraction, interaction, and sensing are influenced by emerging vehicle technologies, and how these factors inform the design of effective and safe systems.
The module is delivered over a 4-week blended teaching block and combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, supported by case studies and real-world examples. The content is designed to help you critically evaluate existing technologies and apply structured methods—such as usability testing and design analysis—to optimise human–technology interaction in future mobility systems.
Please ensure you regularly check the module timetable and Moodle page for session details, learning materials, and assessment guidance.
Assessment for this module consists of:
-
Individual written assignment (70%) – a problem-based report requiring you to solve and justify a set of HTI-related problems
-
Group presentation (30%) – a collaborative presentation reflecting learning across the module
We hope you find this module engaging, challenging, and valuable to your academic and professional development. Active participation, independent study, and critical thinking will help you gain the maximum benefit from the module.
Best wishes,
