description The integration of automated vehicle (AV) technology in public transportation systems offers promising opportunities to improve the flexibility and safety of the traffic environment. However, user acceptance remains a critical challenge in the field of human-machine interaction for the effective deployment of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). This study presents a design framework aimed at enhancing user acceptance through human-machine interface (HMI) design tailored to SAVs. The framework is developed in adherence to relevant interaction design principles, following a systematic approach encompassing three key steps: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It integrates user acceptance factors into the design process, providing a structured method for designers. The framework was iteratively refined through interviews with three international domain experts; a focus group discussion with 10 researchers and professionals specializing in automotive interaction designers; and a workshop with 30 students and designers. The results demonstrate the framework’s ability to guide the development of user-acceptable HMI solutions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for further exploration into how user acceptance factors evolve over time and how real-world testing can validate the framework’s effectiveness in promoting user acceptance and satisfaction.
