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 aims to further the
design of ergonomic multisensory interfaces using research from the
fast-growing field of cognitive neuroscience. It focuses on two
aspects of driver information-processing in particular:
multisensory interactions and the spatial distribution of attention
in driving. The Multisensory Driver provides interface design
guidelines together with a detailed review of current cognitive
neuroscience and behavioural research in multisensory human
perception, which will help the development of ergonomic
interfaces. The discussion on spatial attention is particularly
relevant for car interface designers, but it will also appeal to
cognitive psychologists interested in spatial attention and the
applications of these theoretical research findings. Giving a
detailed description of a cohesive series of psychophysical
experiments on multisensory warning signals, conducted in both
laboratory and simulator settings, this book provides an approach
for those in the engineering discipline who wish to test their
systems with human observers.
