• Abstract:
  Although Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) devices have the potential to improve travel safety, efficiency, and comfort, they represent a new frontier in ground transportation. In order to realize this potential, they must be designed in a manner consistent with the capabilities and limitations of the driving public. This summary presents some key results of a project to develop a precise and detailed set of preliminary human factors design guidelines for ATIS and Commercial Vehicle Operations (cvo) devices. A key subsystem of ATIS will be the In-Vehicle Safety Advisory and Warning Systems (IVSAWS), which will provide warnings of unsafe roadway conditions and situations affecting the driver. Some recommendations for presenting hazard warning information to drivers by means of an ATIS are presented in table 1.
