The introduction of new warning and information systems in vehicles places high demands on the interaction between the driver and the vehicle. An HMI that exceeds customer expectations, that is transparent to the user, and that fully supports the users in accomplishing their goals provides a foundation for minimizing driver workload. Not only is the packaging of HMI devices essential to improve safety while interacting with a car. Also regulating the flow of information to a level that will not interfere with the primary task, driving the car, is crucial for product development. The purpose of this project is to develop methods and technical concepts that supports integration of HMI systems in vehicles.
