• 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. 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. 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.
