• Abstract:
  The goal of in-vehicle information system (IVIS) technologies is to increase the mobility, improve the efficiency, and increase the safety and/or convenience of the motoring public. To achieve this goal, IVISs must be designed to include good human factors principles that consider the capabilities and limitations of the operators of these systems. The Federal Highway Administration initiated a research project with two main objectives: to provide designers of IVIS technologies with a set of tools and criteria that could be used in evaluating the attentional resources required by IVIS designs, and to provide highway planners and engineers with tools and criteria to evaluate proposed IVIS requirements. An IVIS design support software program was developed that allows evaluation of IVIS designs on the basis of the attention demand required of the driver. This program is called the IVIS Design Evaluation and Model of Attentional Demand (DEMAnD) software program. This program can be installed and run in a Windows operating environment. This research update addresses the following questions related to IVIS DEMAnD: What does the IVIS DEMAnD program do? How does the IVIS DEMAnD program work? and How was the IVIS DEMAnD program developed? 4 p.
