DIN EN ISO 15006:2012-01

The driver and the vehicle are an integrated system that includes the environment, the primary vehicle controls, the instrumentation, and the transport information and control systems (TICS). The driving task, and human capabilities and limitations, are other primary factors. Transport information and control systems are intended to support the driver's primary task. Therefore it is expected that such a system does not increase the overall workload of the driver, while performance and comfort should be increased. The multitude of information to be displayed to the driver through transport information and control systems may create the need to minimize visual load and make more and better use of the auditory channel. This standard provides ergonomic specifications for the design and installation of auditory displays presenting speech and tonal information while driving. The aim of these specifications is to help designers to provide auditory signals which meet usability, comfort and safety criteria.
