The driver
bookPart
This chapter is part of a book describing the Generic Intelligent Driver Support (GIDSÄDrive V1041) system which is aimed at integrating modern in-vehicle applications. This chapter deals with the human organism as a component in the traffic system. A brief overview is given of driver characteristics with an eye to their implications for the GIDS design. The driver's task structure is described in an attempt to converge to a task description that is computationally suitable. Driver information needs are specified and a discussion of driver workload is presented including how workload is measured and how it can be quantified. In this way the system can be adapted to the workload of the driver.
