Human factors in the design and assessment of in-vehicle information systems
by M.D. Galer
International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 7, No. 5/6, 1986

Abstract: The driver of a modern vehicle can now receive information about the state of the vehicle and its components, traffic conditions, the environment in which the vehicle is being used, and information unrelated to the vehicle but of relevance to the driver. The application of new technology, producing such a wealth of information, poses as many new queries for the designer and electronics engineer as it has provided design opportunities. The ergonomist works with designers, engineers and product planners to present in-vehicle information to the user in a form which is compatible with the user's requirements and capabilities. The involvement of the user in product development and assessment is a vital part of the process. Examples are cited in the paper of the ways in which design and assessment exercises are conducted.
