Development of ITS human machine interface using tablet terminal (Possibility of gesture input)

Abstract

According to popularization of the driver assist system and future spread of the autonomous vehicle, the importance of the HMI between the system and the driver is increased. We study the HMI which does not obstruct the driving about the command from the driver to the system among the communication between the system and the driver. As the hardware for it, the application of the tablet terminal of which the popularization is remarkable in the daily life is considered. By using the tablet terminal to be helpful in our daily, it also may be possible to attempt the fusion of the daily data and the driving data. There are, however, few application studies of the HMI using the tablet terminal for an automobile. Therefore, the capability of the tablet terminal applying to the in-vehicle HMI is explored by the experiment with the driving simulator and the possibility is found out in this paper.
