PRELIMINARY HUMAN FACTORS DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEMS. FINAL REPORT

This document is written for the designers of IVHS-related driver information systems. It describes how to make those systems safe and easy to use for ordinary drivers. These guidelines are based on experimental work carried out as part of this project, the literature, and the authors' human factors experience. This document includes a description of its objectives, general design principles, and guidelines for the design of manual controls, spoken input, visual displays, auditory displays, destination entry, visual displays for navigation, auditory displays for navigation, traffic information, car phones, vehicle monitoring, IVSAWS (a hazard warning system), interface integration, as well as an extensive reference section. For most guidelines, a commentary and examples of how they should be applied are provided. These guidelines should be viewed as preliminary.
