Although there has been considerable research on in-vehicle navigation systems, many safety and usability problems re-occur in system after system, even in systems that have been subjected to some sort of safety or human factors evaluation. This paper describes those problems and a test protocol to identify them.

The test protocol, developed as part of the process of evaluating the four systems, consists of two parts. The first part concentrates on the control layout, destination entry, and other tasks performed while the vehicle is parked. The second part concentrates on the route guidance while the vehicle is in motion. Both parts of the protocol rely on verifying compliance with human factors principles as determined by experts (heuristic evaluation) as well as data from carefully chosen test subjects using the system.

The Co-Driver Alert project has successfully developed and demonstrated end-to-end
operability of an after market fit in-vehicle hazard alert system suitable for future deployment
in the UK. The concept of the Co-Driver Alert system is to provide increased driver
awareness to both static and dynamic hazards. This paper presents the project objectives, the
technical challenges faced during the development phase, and provides a description of the
systems architecture.

CALYPSO is an interoperable electronic ticketing standard open to multi-application environments. It was developed by a group of European partners from the cities of Brussels, Constance, Lisbon, Paris and Venice.

CALYPSO provides the basis for a new service relationship with clients: facilitating access to networks, customizing travel cards and complementary services, diversifying sales outlets, and managing client databases.

The OTN Statewide Transit Trip Planning Project in Oregon began as an idea.

This presentation will address how that idea was developed into realistic options for implementing statewide transit trip planning in Oregon.

Developed as part of the Phoenix AZTechTM national ITS Model Deployment Initiatives (MDI), twenty-three traveler information kiosks have been operational for more than three years. These kiosks were built as part the regional Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) to provide public with useful traveler information, including real-time traffic condition. Recently, an effort was initiated by the Maricopa County Department of Transportation, the lead agency of the AZTechTM program, to examine and assess the traveler information kiosk program in the Phoenix area. This paper summarizes the major findings of the study, including reviews of the procurement and implementation history, basic configuration, operational features, information contents, and usage assessment. Despite the sound design, the average level of usage of the kiosks was found to be less than satisfactory. In addition to the discussions of possible rooms for improvement, a viable alternative to the information kiosks for traveler information dissemination in public locations was also discussed.
