Prior to realizing fully autonomous driving, human intervention will be required periodically to guarantee vehicle safety. This fact poses a new challenge in human-machine interaction, particularly during control authority transition from the automated functionality to a human driver. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing an intelligent haptic interface based on a newly developed two-phase human-machine interaction model. The intelligent haptic torque is applied on the steering wheel and switches its functionality between predictive guidance and haptic assistance according to the varying state and control ability of human drivers, helping drivers gradually resume manual control during takeover. The developed approach is validated by conducting vehicle experiments with 26 human participants. The results suggest that the proposed method can effectively enhance the driving state recovery and control performance of human drivers during takeover compared with an existing approach, further improving the safety and smoothness of the human-machine interaction in automated vehicles.
