HUMAN FACTORS CRITERIA FOR VEHICLE COUNTROL AND DISPLAYS: APPENDIX A, B, AND C

THE STUDY WAS DIRECTED TOWARD DEVELOPING VALID CRITERIA FOR THE STANDARDIZATION OF CONTROL AND DISPLAY LOCATION, CODING, AND OPERATION IN PASSENGER CARS, TRUCKS, AND BUSES. FIVE TASKS WERE ACCOMPLISHED. TASK 1 COMPRISED AN ANALYSIS OF THE COMMONALITY OF CONTROL-DISPLAY DESIGN ARRANGEMENTS IN EXISTING VEHICLES, AND AN ASSESSMENT OF THE DEGREE OF THE NONSTANDARDIZATION PROBLEMS. TASKS 2 AND 3 WERE DIRECTED TOWARD DEVELOPING CRITERIA FOR C/D LOCATION AND CODING/OPERATION RESPECTIVELY. TASK 4 INVOLVED A STUDY OF 3 BEAM HEADLAMP SYSTEM CONTROL CONCEPTS. TASK 5 COMPRISED AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM TO SUPPORT TASKS 1, 2 AND 3. THE STEPS IN DEVELOPING THE STANDARD C/D PANELS FOR EACH VEHICLE CLASS, BASE LINE EXPERIMENTS, COMPARISON OF DRIVER PERFORMANCE USING ALTERNATIVE PANELS WITHIN VEHICLE CLASSES, ANALYSIS OF DRIVER PERFORMANCE ACROSS VEHICLE CLASSES, AND A 3-BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTROL STUDY ARE ALSO PRESENTED. APPENDIX A IS NTIS PB 214 066/3, APPENDIX B IS NTIS PB 214 067/1, APPENDIX C IS NTIS PB 214 068/9, APPENDIX D IS 214 069/7.
