Battelle is carrying out a study for the U.S. Federal Highway Administration to build human factors design guidelines for ATIS/CVO systems. A large matrix was created with research issues as rows and criteria as columns. Criteria included five recommended by IVHS America (congestion, safety, mobility, environment and economic). Human factors experts rated each cell. Sensitivity analyses determined how different weightings for the criteria alter the relative importance of the research issues. The final weighted scale was successfully validated. (A)
