The Multisensory Driver: Implications for Ergonomic Car Interface Design

Driver inattention has been identified as one of the leading causes for car accidents. The problem of distraction while driving is likely to worsen, partly due to increasingly complex in-car technologies. However, intelligent transport systems are being developed to assist drivers and to ensure a safe road environment.

One approach to the design of ergonomic automobile systems is to integrate our understanding of the human information processing systems into the design process. This book aim...
