APPLICATIONS OF SPEECH TECHNOLOGY IN VEHICLE BASED MMI

The Defence Research Agency (United Kingdom) has researched and identified applications of technology for the civilian domain. This paper identifies areas that could be of value to civilian vehicle man machine interfaces and discusses the benefits and drawbacks to the use of this technology. These applications fall into two main areas: 1) information based applications and 2) command oriented applications. Information based applications could include route management data or vehicle status information, while command oriented applications could be control of vehicle systems, such as environmental, in-vehicle entertainment, and communications systems. Research, using a simulator based facility, has been conducted pertaining to information based systems, namely multimodal dialogue design, system feedback, and operator workload. Results have confirmed the potential for speech recognition, identifying areas where it can be used, some of the problems, and the advantages and disadvantages of its use. This research has also illustrated the weaknesses of the current technology. As a consequence of this work, a number of guidelines have been produced for the future design of speech interfaces. It has also been identified that the use of speech in vehicles should be limited to non-safety critical areas.
