Objectives
While SP1 will identify and model the behavioural effects of IVIS and ADAS functions, the objective of SP2 is to develop a cost efficient and industrially applicable methodology for quantifying these effects and their relation to road safety. An important goal is to extend existing approaches in order to account for new adaptive integrated interface solutions, new ADAS and nomad devices. Moreover, the methods and tools developed will be linked to design guidelines and standards (in particular the European Statement of Principles). A further objective of SP2 is to perform the final evaluation of the AIDE prototypes developed in SP3, employing the methodology developed in the subproject.
Approach
The work will take into account existing work in the area, in particular the FP5 EU projects HASTE and ROADSENSE, but will extend this to cover the wide range of new innovative driver-assistance and information functions, in particular integrated and adaptive functions. The work will involve the development of standardised scenarios for HMI testing along with efficient tools for measuring key behavioural parameters, in particular driver workload and distraction. The SP will also involve the development of methods for relating these behavioural parameters to accident risk, which will be strongly based on inputs from SP1. These methods and tools will be integrated into a generic, cost-efficient, evaluation methodology for industrial application, which will be used in the final evaluation of the AIDE prototypes to assess whether the AIDE objectives have been met.
The results from SP2 will be a key input to the development of design guidelines and standards, to be performed as a horizontal activity within sub-project 4.
Several factors will contribute to acceptance of the AIDE evaluation and assessment methodology by the wider IVIS/ADAS community: First, the AIDE consortium gathers a critical mass of the European ADAS/IVIS community (OEMs, suppliers, research community), who will themselves be involved in the development of the methodology. |

There are also strong links to other FP6 initiatives in this area, i.e. the projects involved in the Integrated Safety Program and the HUMANIST NoE.
Moreover, the project is supported by major European partnerships and collaborations (EUCAR and ERTICO). Second, the User Forum will facilitate the dissemination of the methodology to stakeholders beyond the consortium. Third, there is a strong focus on cost-efficient, easy-to-use, industrially applicable evaluation methods, which will facilitate take-up by the industry. Finally, the evaluation methodology will be linked to design guidelines and standards, in particular the European Statement of Principles, which will promote its widespread use.
