This book presents a process which will support the evaluation and modeling of driver-interface interactions in a dual-task driving context. This process consists of a framework of methods which can be used to evaluate and model the usability of In-Vehicle information Systems (IVIS). The book’s focus on design and evaluation of IVIS, coupled with a systems approach to the concept of usability, sets it apart. This method presents both an autopsy and diagnostic approach to investigating usability in IVIS.
