• Abstract:
  As part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) program, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) investigated the human factors research needs for integrating in-vehicle safety and driver information technologies into usable systems that provide manageable information to the driver. This investigation included a workshop in December 1997 for IVI stakeholders and a preliminary assessment of infrastructure and in-vehicle requirements. This Summary Report summarizes the identified human factors research needs for basic safety and information systems, one of five configurations of in-vehicle safety and driver information systems. Each candidate configuration was meant to provide clear safety benefits to the driver as well as a solid technical foundation for the system configurations for the IVI. The goal of the configuration described in this Summary Report is to provide basic collision warning and driver information capabilities to passenger cars, commercial trucks, and transit vehicles such as buses.
