Editorial: Selected Papers from the 1st European Conference on Human Centred Design for Intelligent Transport Systems

The widespread distribution of in-vehicle driver information systems on the market, and the emergence of advanced driver assistance systems are profoundly changing road transport and more specifically the driver environment and driving activity. Through Intelligent Transport Systems, a range of services are indeed offered to the driver with the objective of facilitating the driving task and improving travel safety. Despite the potential benefits to road safety, these developments raise numerous questions about their relevance, usability and acceptability for drivers and their impact on drivers?? behaviour and attitudes. All this contributes to the necessity of encouraging a Human Centred Design approach, in which ITS are designed according to driver needs.
