ABSTRACT
The majority of the work reported here was carried out with part-funding from the Commission for the European Communities under DRIVE Project V1041: Generic Intelligent Driver Support System (GIDS). An aim of the project was to identify techniques for supporting driver interaction with a range of in-car electronic devices. The role of BAeSEMA in this project was to focus on the use of speech as an input and output medium. To this end, a number of empirical studies were carried out, literature was reviewed and specialized interfacing techniques were developed and demonstrated. This paper draws heavily on the main results of the DRIVE work to present issues and design recommendations for the use of voice as a medium for driver interaction with in-car devices.
