Date: 1/3/2010

The second European conference on Human Centred Design for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) will be held in Berlin over 29 to 30 April 2010.

The aim of the event is to gather the community of Human Factors researchers, to offer an overview of the current developments and trends and to create an area for discussions and debates on these topics.  The conference is organised by HUMANIST, an EC-funded project which focuses on exchanging information on human centred design for ITS.

During the conference, the following topics related to Human Centred Design for ITS will be addressed:

• Effects of ITS on driver behaviour and interaction with the systems
• Tools and methodologies for safety and usability assessment
• Modelling of drivers' behaviour for ITS design
• Diversity and specificity of road user groups
• Drivers' needs and acceptance of assistance functions
• Green ITS to meet new driver needs
