HUMAN FACTORS AND NEW DRIVER INTERFACES: LESSONS LEARNED FROM A MAJOR RESEARCH PROJECT

This paper summarizes a four-year project on driver interfaces for motor vehicles of the future sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). This topic includes controls and displays with which the driver interacts, as well as the information-presentation logic and sequencing. The project had three objectives: (1) Provide human factors guidelines for design of in-vehicle information systems; (2) Provide methods for testing the safety and ease of use of those systems; (3) Develop a model that predicts driver performance while using those systems.
