INITIAL ON-THE-ROAD TESTS OF DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM INTERFACES : ROUTE GUIDANCE, TRAFFIC INFORMATION, IVSAWS AND VEHICLE MONITORING

This report describes a series of experiments whose purpose was to examine the safety and ease of use of simulated driver information system interfaces and to provide data that might be used to certify those qualities. In the first series of experiments, pairs of drivers were tested to determine if there were serious problems with any of the driver information systems that would render them unusable (and unable to be tested). In the subsequent experiment, individual subjects drove a 35- minute route while their driving performance was recorded in detail.
