MATCHING TRAFFIC SAFETY NEEDS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IVIS AND ADAS - HMI EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
The Swedish National Road Administration (SNRA) initiated the "ITS SafeTE" project (sic), at the end of 1999, to assess the interaction or interface between intelligent transport systems (ITS) applications and the drivers from a traffic safety perspective. An objective measure of cognitive workload (peripheral detection task (PDT)) and an expert judgement checklist are being developed for the task. In line with results from previous studies PDT-performance showed a remarkable sensitivity to distraction caused by the in-vehicle information and communication system (IVIS) navigation instructions. The driving task requires continuous visual information processing and visual distraction is a very important component in safety evaluation of IVIS and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Manufacturers and government agencies must all pass the human machine interface (HMI) hurdle. That is, even if the ITS system is otherwise technically perfect, it will still ultimately perform poorly or fail if the human machine (or system/ service) interaction is also poor. Human factors are a crucial link between ITS implementation and traffic safety.
