The thesis was motivated by the rapidly rising number of functions to be integrated in todays vehicles. The result of 5 lab experiments provide guidelines for an optimized human-machine-interface for the usage of technical systems while driving. Theoretical considerations of the combined task of driving and system maniuplation identify the positioning of an information display as an important guideline for a safety-optimized human-machine-interface. The thesis proposes a display-based display and control concept which allows the integration of different functions. In addition the new human-machine-interface contains a seperation of the display from the control elements allowing a safety-optimized positioning of information displays while driving. The influence of the combined task of driving and system manipulation on the behavior of the driver was analysed and the distraction of the driver through the information display was simulated. The forced peripheral driving paradigm (Bhise & Rockwell, 1971; Summala, Nieminen & Punto, 1996; Lamble, Laakso & Summala, 1999) was used where the lateral position of the vehicle in the lane is only controlled through peripheral vision while fixating an information inside the vehicle. Measured was the steering and gaze behavior while controlling speed. In addition rating judgements were aquired. The experiments included control conditions with identical combined tasks but forced gaze on the display and free gaze directions. In a first comparitive evaluation the control of conventional switches was compared to a display-based concept with a seperated control device. The position of the information display high in the center console to the right of the steering wheel was derived from investigations of lane keeping behavior using peripheral vision (Summala et. al., 1996) and gaze recordings while driving (Mourant & Rockwell, 1970, 1972; Cohen, 1985). The results of the comparison using user tests showed a comparable intuitive usability of the two display and control concepts. The usage of the display-based system while driving resulted in an increased reduction in speed and longer gazes to the information display while lane keeping behavior was not different. The integration of parallel speech recognition was suggested as a safety-oriented improvement of the display-based system. This redundant interaction modality gives the driver the opportunity to pick the appropriate way of interaction which best fits the current situation and the function to be controlled. In addition the direct access to functions is provided through speech commands. The goal of 4 additional experiments was the systematic analysis of the optimal display position which allows the most accurate tracking while interacting with very complex systems inside the vehicle. The results using the forced peripheral driving paradigm show that the display position high in the center console to the right of the steering wheel supports peripheral lane keeping best. During the interaction with simple tasks where gaze direction is free this position effect cannot be observed. Therefore the display position high in the center console to the right of the steering wheel should be especially considered for tasks that require long gazes to the information display and do not allow control gazes to the road. The results provide a starting basis for the design of a human-machine-interface through the integration of many new functions in an information display with a seperated control device and parallel speech recognition.","abstract_html":"The thesis reports about experimental investigations with respect to the ergonomic design of a human-machine-interface, in this case the interaction between the driver with technical systems in the vehicle.
