At Tobii, we’re making the roads safer; not only with state-of-the-art tech that monitors driver states, but also with eye tracking research tools that empower scientists with the means to uncover powerful data about driver behavior, attention and awareness. That's why we’re excited to be hosting a knowledge sharing event around the critical role of eye tracking in automotive research.
Event details
Alongside the Institute for Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, we’re happy to invite you to a workshop focusing on eye tracking in automotive research. Hear from several speakers who will discuss their automotive eye tracking research and unpack their unique findings with you. You’ll also be able to try out Tobii DMS for yourself in the demo car that will be at the event!
Don’t miss out on discovering how eye tracking drives road safety and automotive tech into the future - save your seat today!
The talks
The role of multimodal behavioral research including eye tracking for vehicle development and road safety
Speaker: Dr. Roland Spies, CEO Ergoneers Group
Description: In this talk, Roland Spies will explore the expanding role of eye tracking technology in driver assistance and in-vehicle infotainment systems, as well as the process of multimodal behavioral analysis incorporating multiple data sources.
Dr. Spies will share his approach to managing parallel data streams, an essential aspect of accurate data interpretation, and will touch on some of the emerging challenges in transportation design.
This presentation will offer practical insights into current automotive research topics and will open up discussions about the future of transportation design – don't miss out!
SAE Level 2, Automated driving and demands on the visual attention of drivers
Speaker: Dr. Johanna Josten, Automated Driving, Manager User Behaviour & Experience, fka GmbH
In this talk, we’ll explore the complexities of handsfree supervision in driver assistance systems, specifically when engaging combined lateral and longitudinal functions. Currently not permitted in Germany, these practices present significant challenges and an opportunity for advancements in safety and ergonomics.
The speakers will highlight crucial findings from the Level 2 Hands-off project. The project analyzed the impact of various driver monitoring systems on visual attention using multiple driving simulator studies conducted in Aachen and Santa Clara. The L2H-off project paves the way for future discussions on safety and system design in driver assistance technology.
Join us as we navigate the evolving landscape of handsfree supervision, exploring its technical requirements, the need for driver behavior compensation, and the ergonomic considerations essential for future development in the field.

Speakers
Dr. Roland Spies, PhD.
CEO Ergoneers Group
Dr. Roland Spies studied Automotive engineering and ergonomics at TU München. His PhD. project at TU München centered on the development of a haptic touchpad for a vehicle infotainment system. Since then, he has worked for Audi, Ingolstadt, and ERL focusing on driver assistance systems, electronics development, and the human-machine interface. He is currently the CEO of Ergoneers Group, a company that provides software and hardware solutions for understanding human behavior.
Dr. Josten is the Manager for User Behaviour and Experience at fka GmbH, an independent automotive industry research partner located in Aachen. After earning her Master of Science in Psychology from RWTH Aachen University in 2012, she joined the Driver Assistance Department at the Institute for Automotive Engineering (ika). Between 2012 and 2020, Josten contributed to various research and industry projects at the Institute, primarily focused on driver assistance and automated driving. Her key areas of study included take-over performance and controllability in both simulated and controlled field environments. In 2021, Josten earned her PhD and, in 2022, she assumed her current role as the manager of fka’s User Behaviour and Experience Team.
