ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Department of Transportation ITS Joint Program Office (ITS
JPO) and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration
(NHTSA) will host a free public meeting to discuss the Human Factors
for IntelliDrive (HFID) program on January 6, 2011 from 10 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. at the Flamingo Las Vegas, 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South Las
Vegas, Nevada 89109.
IntelliDrive is a research program under development that will
allow vehicles to communicate wirelessly with other vehicles and the
surrounding infrastructure, such as traffic signals and work zones. The
program has the potential to significantly reduce vehicle crashes,
enhance mobility and improve the environment. One of the supporting
research programs is Human Factors for IntelliDrive (HFID), a program
aimed at understanding the effects of providing drivers with critical
safety warning messages. The vision of the HFID research is to address
the number of new, competing visual and audible stimuli that put
demands on a driver's attention. The goal of the program is to develop
guidelines to ensure future IntelliDrive interfaces are effective
without increasing distraction. The HFID program will support all of
the IntelliDrive applications--safety, mobility, and sustainability--
for multiple vehicle types to include: passenger vehicles, passenger
transit vehicles, and heavy trucks.
At this meeting, ITS JPO and NHTSA will provide an overview of the
entire Human Factors for IntelliDrive program, including Vehicle to
Vehicle (V2V) communication and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I)
communication, heavy truck-related research, and environmental research
related IntelliDrive. The presenters will also cover each of the five
HFID research tracks and then lead a discussion to facilitate the
exchange of ideas with stakeholders. The feedback obtained during the
meeting will be considered for the current program and future HFID
projects.
Registration will be available on-site. For additional questions,
please contact Nicole Oliphant at [email protected] or 202-721-4215.
Issued in Washington, DC, on the 22nd day of December 2010.

Managing Director, ITS Joint Program Office.
