Abstract Autonomous vehicle technology is introducing new capabilities and challenges to the transportation system. Along with its inclusion in the on-road transportation, industries are also adapting this technology for ground vehicles to increase the efficiency and safety of material transport at their facilities. Similar to the issues concerning on-road autonomous vehicle and road-user communication, the implementation of autonomous ground vehicles in industrial settings also requires ways for the vehicles to communicate with operators and people nearby. This study created videos of a simulated autonomous industrial vehicle equipped with different types of communicating features. An online survey collected responses (n = 1008) testing twelve external features for people nearby and ten internal features for operators. The findings reveal that a great deal of training is required for people to understand the features based on colored lights. Redundant features and the inclusion of clear texts and audible messages would facilitate comprehending a vehicle’s intended action.
