Human factors and safety in the design of intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS)

Article Abstract:

Human factors and safety in design of intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) is explored. In aviation, intelligent systems are proliferating and so are the problems inherent to the application of the system. Such problems are the regulation of driver overload, keeping the driver involved in the act of driving, the economic aspects of investing in in-vehicle navigation aids and the use of in-car displays that may be overrided. These problems must be met proactively for the safe application of the system.
