Information Ergonomics

Abstract

The main focus in this chapter shall be on information and communication in the situational context “vehicle”. Thereby, based on relevant theoretical approaches in the area of “information” and “communication”, it shall be demonstrated that the topic communication and information becomes even more complex through the special situation in a car while driving. First, one needs to distinguish between “natural” human–human communication in a vehicle (e.g. passenger, mobile telephony) and the more “artificial” human–vehicle communication. For designing the optimum human–vehicle communication, findings and approaches of the human–human communication thus shall be used. Information and communication between drivers and the impact on the traffic system shall not be taken into consideration here.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Between 25 and 30 experienced drivers participated in the experiments as subjects. In every case, the basic hypotheses were tested by ANOVA and with the Scheffé test. Only results that discriminate better than 5% error probability are reported.
