Abstract :
AWAKE is a European project aiming at the promotion of road safety and the reduction of road accidents due to driver hypo-vigilance. This paper deals with the human-machine-interface of the AWAKE system and a fundamental software tool used during the development process. AWAKE warnings are multi-modal and tailored towards the actual traffic risk and individual driver parameters. The paper shows the user-centred development procedure of the AWAKE warning concept based on existing guidelines, analytical steps and several usability experiments with vigilant and hypo-vigilant drivers in a driving simulator environment. Resulting prototypes of the AWAKE HMI for passenger cars and heavy vehicles are presented which are all based on a common software platform and which are currently tested on several test tracks in Europe
