Abstract:This document represents the final report of the work performed under contract DTNH22-91 C-07004, “In-Vehicle Crash Avoidance Warning Systems: Human Factors Considerations”. This project was performed to develop guidelines for the interface design of in-vehicle crash avoidance warnings and to begin the process of filling some of the data gaps exposed during that definition process. It did not have the objective of designing some specific device or system. Rather, it had the more general perspective of identifying the common issues for the range of potential devices, supporting integration and compatibility among multiple types of devices, aud promoting compatibility among alternative products for a given warning situation. In support of these objectives, tbe project conducted critical analyses, developed preliminary guidelines, and conducted new empirical research on selected issues. In addition to the guidelines, a series of experiments was conducted, centering arouud two issues: (1) the characteristics of effective acoustic alarms for crash avoidance warnings; and (2) features of effective backup warning devices. The present report provides a brief overview of project activities, and references the interim documents that provide full detail. It also presents a set of human factors recommendations for backup warning systems. This set of recommendations is new and has not been presented in any earlier reports, although the supporting research studies were documented in previous reports.
