Human Factors Design Guidance for Level 2 and Level 3 Automated Driving Concepts

High automation presents the opportunity to increase the safety, mobility, and efficiency of the existing road network, and has been anticipated for decades. It was not, however, until the development of sophisticated sensing and computing systems that such vehicles became technically feasible. Many automakers and Tier-1 suppliers are developing or testing vehicles with some form of automation. In support of the motor vehicle automation effort, NHTSA is planning a automation driving system (ADS) research program in coordination with other USDOT agencies with the goal of improving motor vehicle safety. Driver vehicle interface (DVI) design guidance has been developed as part of a larger research effort intended to perform an initial human factors assessment of driver performance and behavior under Level 2 and Level 3 automated driving. Safe and efficient operation of any motor vehicle requires that the DVI be designed in a manner consistent with driver limitations, capabilities, and expectations. This document is intended to assist DVI developers achieve these outcomes.
