Human Factors for Connected Vehicles
  • Outcome Goal
    • Connected Vehicle technologies and applications will have Driver Vehicle Interfaces (DVI) that effectively communicate safety and various levels of non-safety driving related information while managing workload and minimizing distraction
  • Product Goal
    • Human Factors Guidelines to ensure interfaces are effective without increasing distraction or creating high workload
      • Produced in time to inform 2013 Agency Decision
4
Program Scope
  • Multiple Applications:
    • V2V and V2I
    • Safety, Mobility, Sustainability
      • Special concern about non-safety applications
    • Original equipment, Nomadic (carry-in) devices, software “Apps”
  • Multiple User Groups:
    • Light vehicles
    • Commercial Vehicles
    • Transit operators
    • Age groups: Older and Younger drivers
5
HFCV Guidelines
  • Human Factors Guidelines for Connected Vehicle Systems
  • Focus will be on Driver-Vehicle Interfaces (DVI) for:
    • Safety and Non-Safety applications
    • Integrated and aftermarket devices
  • Will inform 2013 Agency decision
