Abstract

In the advent of the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) programme, a variety of high technology in-cab devices have been proposed for use in heavy trucks and cars. These include land navigation and route guidance systems, text messaging systems, cellular phones and other communication systems, vehicle subsystem status and monitoring systems, Advanced Traveler's Information Systems (ATIS), and collision avoidance systems (CAS). Among other issues, concern has been expressed that many of these devices introduce subsidiary tasks, and make information available which may compete with the driver's primary task of safely controlling the vehicle at all times. The challenge of design, evaluation, and implementation of high technology from a driver-centered perspective is to determine the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of such devices. (A)
