Human - Machine Interface in car using ADAS and IVIS

HUMANIST Project An objective of this project is to build a top European workplace that will gather and integrate the outcomes of research of leading European transport institutions, and act as an intermediary in mutual information sharing and reducing the so-called knowledge gaps among individual countries in the whole area of the interaction of the user (driver) and technology, communication assistance systems in particular. The goal of the HUMANIST Network of Excellence (NoE), was to promote a Human centred design approach and also to federate research in its scientific domain, by creating a European Virtual Centre. The creation of the virtual centre has been an answer to the scattering of research capacities in Europe. This has been done by setting up strong connections between partners inside the NoE. The relationship with Universities and Academic World outside the NoE were not set aside, and were enhanced through training programmes and welcoming young researchers. Outputs from NoE were also targeted toward other relevant stakeholders such as National and European public authorities, Standardisation Bodies, National and European RTD Projects. Diffusion and transfer of knowledge, in addition to common partnerships between NoE and these entities, ensured flow of information in order to disseminate the concept of Human centred design outside the Network. Such a diffusion of information ensured the effectiveness of the expected impacts. The HUMANIST Network of Excellence ended in February 2008 and is now continuing its activities under the status of a Virtual Centre of Excellence created as an international association with four new task forces:-HUMANIST Road Map Task Force (inputs for FP7 and FP8, ERTRAC, eSafety)-Task Force " Driver training and ITS " (TFD)-Task Force " Long time impact and effect on ITS " (TFE)-Task Force " Human error management system to improve road safety " (TF Ȗ).
