European Conference on Human Centred Design for ITS - April 2010

HUMANIST conference

The widespread deployment of in-vehicle driver information systems and the emergence of advanced driver assistance systems are profoundly transforming road transport.

Through these Intelligent Transport Systems, a range of services is offered to the driver with the objective of facilitating the driving task and improving travel safety.

Nevertheless, these developments raise numerous questions about acceptance and possible effects and their impact on drivers’ behaviour and attitudes.

Among the topics addressed at this year's HUMANIST conference is 'Field Operational Tests and Naturalistic Driving studies'. FOT-Net partner University of Leeds, Yvonne Barnard and Oliver Carsten, will have a presentation on 'Field Operational Tests: challenges and methods'.

The paper 'Field Operational Tests: challenges and methods' is now available on the conference website and also for download here:  .pdf (289.2 KB)

Other topics addressed:

• Effects of ITS on driver behaviour and interaction with the systems
• Tools and methodologies for safety and usability assessement
• Modelling of drivers' behaviour for ITS design
• Diversity and specificity of road user groups
• Drivers' needs and acceptance of assistance functions
• Green ITS to meet new driver needs
• ITS and traffic management
• Human-Centered System Integration and Product maturity
• Generic user Interfaces for Assistance Systems

The conference was held in Berlin, on April 29-30, 2010.
