@techreport{R-93-35, TITLE = {An AI-based Design of a Driver Information Unit}, AUTHOR = {Jacek Malec and Magnus Morin}, YEAR = {1993}, NUMBER = {R-93-35}, INSTITUTION = ida, ADDRESS = idaaddr, ABSTRACTURL = {/publications/cgi-bin/tr-fetch.pl?r-93-35+abstr}, ABSTRACT = {The paper describes an Artificial Intelligence-based approach to th design of a driver information unit (DIU). As the amount of information to be processed by a module presenting the information to the driver is huge, and conventional design methods do not sufficiently take into account driver workload and timing problems, it seems appropriate to use artificial intelligence techniques when designing such a system. A three-layered software architecture an a set of layer-specific software engines are used to facilitate the design process. The paper focuses on presenting the software architecture, the software tools developed and their applicability to the design of Driver Information Unit.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-93-35}, NOTE = {Accepted to Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems -93, Ottawa, Canada, October 12-15, 1993}
