HIGHEST PRIORITY STUDIES/ISSUES

BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF STUDIES/ISSUES

A1. Examine the cognitive demands placed on the driver by the need to transition from one ATIS function to another

A4. Identify how complex ATIS interactions among ATIS functions might affect driver understanding and response to the system

B3. Identify how the information drivers need and want from road sign (ISIS) and warning systems (IVSAWS) might influence behavior

C4. Examine how information reliability (e.g., false alarms) influences driver adaptation and enhance the potential for an improper response to ISIS/IVSAWS

C5. Investigate how to display multiple ISIS and IVSAWS messages so that drivers can identify relevant information and react appropriately

D2. Identify features that will benefit/require standardization across many types of ATIS systems and functions

D4. Examine the performance differences associated with focusing all ISIS and IVSAWS information through either single or multiple display channels

D12. Evaluate the effectiveness of multimodality displays, such as voice in combination with text

D17. Identify specific concerns regarding how display formats and modality impact CVO driver workload
