PRESENTING HAZARD WARNING INFORMATION TO DRIVERS USING AN ADVANCED TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEM. SUMMARY REPORT
This summary report presents some key results of a project to develop a precise and detailed set of preliminary human factors design guidelines for Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) and Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) devices. A key subsystem of ATIS will be the In-Vehicle Safety Advisory and Warning System (IVSAWS), which will provide warnings of unsafe roadway conditions and situations affecting the driver. The following questions are addressed: What is hazard warning information? How should hazard warning information be presented to drivers? How is hazard warning information used by drivers?
