ABSTRACT

In Chapter 6, the theoretical justification for the design of an in-vehicle information presentation system was offered. This drew on principles from the skills, rules and knowledge (SRK) taxonomy of human control behaviour (Rasmussen 1983), arguing that it should be possible, with haptic in-vehicle information presented at the same site on to which control actions are performed, to encourage eco-driving behaviours, at lower levels of cognitive control, in the novice eco-driver (see Chapter 6). The system itself, and the process by which it was designed and built, was described in the previous chapter. This chapter describes the first application of that system; it presents another step on the journey from theory to analysis, design and testing.
