Development of Active Manual for Intelligent Transport Systems

Abstract

In recent years, many driver assistance devices evolve and become widespread, the information has, however, become more complex. There is a danger that drivers may not be able to process the information and may lead to accidents. In order to solve this problem, we are developing an electronic manual, defined as an "active manual," which detects skills and comprehension levels of the driver and actively gives adequate information to the driver. In the experiment, a driving simulator is used to observe the behavior of subjects driving and detect their various levels of understanding. As a result, it is found that the real-time information of the active manual is effective for drivers with low skill and comprehension level.
