The goal of HUMANIST NoE

To federate the researches in the domain of user/system interactions and their applications on in-vehicle information systems and advanced driver assistance systems.

By creating a European Virtual Centre of Excellence on HUMAN centred design for Information Society Technologies applied to Road Transport.

The knowledge collected and produced by HUMANIST will contribute directly to the eSafety initiative.

The project is funded through the Information Society Technologies Priority of the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Community.

Integration Activities

To manage and to consolidate the NoE research structure: - by promoting the mobility of researchers within the network,- by optimising the pool of existing experimental

infrastructures through sharing,- by setting up electronic tools in order to share the

knowledge inside the network.

A joint programme of activities

To progress towards the creation of an European Virtual Centre, the HUMANIST Consortium has built a coherent joint programme of activities, gathering research, integrating activities, spreading of excellence and management activities.

The consortium

23 partners from 15 countries108 researchers and 27 doctoral students.

Research activities

To cover the knowledge requiredto investigate all the various aspects of human centred design:- Identifi cation of driver needs in relation to ITS,- Evaluation of ITS Potential Benefi ts,- Joint-Cognitive models of Driver-Vehicle-Environment for

User-Centred Design,- Impact analysis of ITS on driving behaviour,- Developement of innovative methodologies to evaluate ITS

safety and usability,- Driver education and training for ITS use,- Use of ITS to train and educate drivers.

Management activities

To assess the quality and the sustainability of the NoE integration:- by carrying out a periodical internal review process and fi nal external review,

- by preparing a business plan.

Spreading of excellence Activities

To disseminate the knowledge from the NoE widely:- by organising debates with RTD projects on eSafety and

relevant stakeholders,- by promoting harmonisation with standardisation and pre-

normative bodies,- by setting up training programmes towards early-stage

researchers ans professionals,- by promoting and disseminating concepts activities and

results of the NoE to a wide audience.
