The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of declaring alerts using 2 different interfaces on the ease of use while driving and its impact on driver attention. The evaluation was carried out using eye-tracker and questionnaires. The results from this study will be published at a later date.
A study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using in-vehicle displays to replace and/or complement Variable Message Signs (VMS). The evaluation was carried out using eye-tracker and questionnaires. The results from this study will be published at a later date.
Finally a study was also conducted to investigate the level of distraction introduced by the use of a search interface on touch screen while driving. The evaluation was carried out using eye-tracker and questionnaires. The results from this study will be published at a later date.
