<strong>Adjunct</strong> <strong>Proceedings</strong> of the 4th International Conference on <strong>Automotive</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Interfaces</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Interactive Vehicular Applications (<strong>Automotive</strong>UI '<strong>12</strong>), October 17–19, 20<strong>12</strong>, Portsmouth, NH, USA<br />

Tutorial: In-vehicle UI St<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

This tutorial describes (1) the guidelines, st<strong>and</strong>ards, <strong>and</strong> other<br />

documents that influence the design <strong>and</strong> testing of automotive<br />

user interfaces, (2) what they contain, (3) how they are created,<br />

(4) how to find them, <strong>and</strong> (5) which are most important. Given<br />

special attention are documents from the International St<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

Organization (ISO Technical Committees 22, 159, <strong>and</strong> 204), the<br />

US Department of Transportation (especially the visual-manual<br />

distraction guidelines), <strong>and</strong> the Society of <strong>Automotive</strong> Engineers<br />

(SAE) Safety <strong>and</strong> Human Factors Steering Committee.<br />

Keywords<br />

distraction, NHTSA visual-manual guidelines, ISO 16673, ITU,<br />

SAE J2364, SAE J2365, user interface design <strong>and</strong> testing<br />

1. INTRODUCTION<br />

Research, such as that on automotive user interfaces, is more<br />

likely to affect interface design <strong>and</strong> evaluation if studies use test<br />

conditions <strong>and</strong> methods specified in st<strong>and</strong>ards, <strong>and</strong> then reference<br />

those st<strong>and</strong>ards. Authors writing research papers referencing<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards benefit because their papers are consequently cited in<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards. Further, st<strong>and</strong>ards writers benefit because st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

are based on more research, <strong>and</strong> practitioners benefit because they<br />

learn of cited st<strong>and</strong>ards (when reading research papers) of which<br />

they are otherwise unaware.<br />

In an review of the 25 papers presented at the 2011 <strong>Automotive</strong><br />

UI Conference, the author found that only 2 papers that fully cited<br />

relevant st<strong>and</strong>ards, though for some papers there were no relevant<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards [1]. In some cases, this was because the topic was quite<br />

new, in other cases because application was limited.<br />

The author believes that sometimes st<strong>and</strong>ards were not cited<br />

because authors were unaware of which st<strong>and</strong>ards were relevant.<br />

This tutorial for Auto-UI authors <strong>and</strong> others will make that less<br />

likely in the future. See also references [2,3].<br />

2. OVERVIEW OF THE TUTORIAL<br />

This tutorial begins by describing st<strong>and</strong>ards-like documents that<br />

exist (guidelines, best practices, recommended practices,<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards, regulations, etc.), how they differ, <strong>and</strong> the sections they<br />

typically contain, using SAE J2364 as an example. This leads to a<br />

discussion of how st<strong>and</strong>ards are developed, so researchers can<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> when <strong>and</strong> how their work could be referenced.<br />

To aid researchers in making that connection, how to find relevant<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards is described, using the ISO <strong>and</strong> SAE web sites as<br />

examples. Finally, the most important st<strong>and</strong>ards for automotive<br />

user interfaces are identified. They include the US Department of<br />

Transportation visual-manual distraction guidelines, SAE<br />

Recommended Practice J2364 <strong>and</strong> many other documents from<br />

the SAE Safety <strong>and</strong> Human Factors Steering Committee, ISO<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard 16673, other documents from ISO Technical Committee<br />

22/Subcommittee 13 (Ergonomics of Road Vehicles), <strong>and</strong> other<br />

documents from ISO Technical Committees 204 (Intelligent<br />

Transportation Systems) <strong>and</strong> 159 (Ergonomics), as well as the<br />

International Telecommunications Union (ITU).<br />
