In-vehicle information systems
by K. Rumar
International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 9, No. 4/5, 1988

Abstract: In-depth accident analyses point to driver problems with information acquisition and processing as the major cause of human errors, and thereby of accidents. To analyze information needs, the driver's tasks are split up into five levels: (1) strategic planning; (2) navigation; (3) traffic interaction; (4) road following; and (5) vehicle handling. For each of these levels, the information problems and means to overcome them with in-vehicle electronic information systems are analyzed. The most promising areas seem to be (1), (2) and (4). Critical areas are system reliability, personal relevance, prediction capacity, user friendliness, distraction effects and price.
