ADVANCE SAFETY EVALUATION
This report presents a safety evaluation of the Advanced Driver and Vehicle Advisory Navigation Concept (ADVANCE) in-vehicle navigation and guidance system, with focus on it automated Mobile Navigation Assistant (MNA) interface. Objectives of the evaluation were to assess the safety impact of MNA usage on drivers, extend the knowledge base of advanced traveler information systems (ATIS), and gain insight into ATIS design improvements. The study examined the effects of using four navigation scenarios on driving and navigation performance. The scenarios included: 1) MNA with voice supplement, 2) MNA without voice supplement, 3) paper map, and 4) textual paper direction list. Findings reveal that although users found benefits to the voice supplement, the precision and informational clarity of the MNA was questionable.
