Collection of papers from the "Human Factors in Driving," "Human Factors in Automotive Telematics," and "Human Factors in Seating Comfort" sessions of the 2001 SAE World Congress, held March 5-8 in Detroit, Michigan. Papers contribute to the understanding and advancement of the systematic consideration of drivers in relation to vehicles and environments. The primary focus relates to driver information processing, reaction time, and visual-spatial memory. Papers address the ergonomic challenges that the technological explosion of infotainment/telematic systems impose in the design of vehicle interiors. Emphasis is on drivers' distractions and their cognitive implications. Papers encompassing basic research on seating comfort address a range of topical issues related to seating, such as fatigue, ride quality, lateral support while cornering, and methodologies to measure comfort.

With so much attention placed upon comfort in the sale of many goods and in relation to musculoskeletal injuries, it is surprising that there is no generally accepted notion of comfort or discomfort that allow them to be easily incorporated into the design process. Because of this lack of a comfort/discomfort paradigm, industry also lacks a referen

This fundamental work explains in detail systems for active safety and driver assistance, considering both their structure and their function. These include the well-known standard systems such as Anti-lock braking system (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). But it includes also new systems for protecting collisions protection, for changing the lane, or for convenient parking. The book aims at giving a complete picture focusing on the entire system. First, it describes the components which are necessary for assistance systems, such as sensors, actuators, mechatronic subsystems, and control elements. Then, it explains key features for the user-friendly design of human-machine interfaces between driver and assistance system. Finally, important characteristic features of driver assistance systems for particular vehicles are presented: Systems for commercial vehicles and motorcycles.
