Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety System heavy truck driver vehicle interface (DVI) design notes

This report was prepared by Battelle, Center for Human Performance and Safety, for UMTRI under contract to the U.S. DOT.The Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS) program is a four-year, two phase cooperative research program conducted by an industry team led by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). The program goal is to integrate several collision warning systems into one vehicle in a way that alerts drivers to potential collision threats with an effective driver vehicle interface (DVI), while minimizing the number of excessive warnings presented to the driver. Basic program strategies for meeting this objective include systematically managing and prioritizing all information presented to the driver, minimizing the number of system false alarms, and restricting auditory alarms to higher urgency collision conditions. During the development of the DVI specification document, the heavy-truck DVI team addressed a number of issues by conducting short reviews or analyses on specific design topics. This report collates these “design notes” into a single report for easy reference.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington DChttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/58364/1/101065.pd
