A Concept of User-Guidance for Vehicle Information Systems

Modern information systems in automobiles like check-control, trip computers, and guidance systems can support a more economic and safer driving if the dashboard is not overloaded by many incompatible components regarding user interface structure. The conventional way with isolated systems often falls short in this respect. New concepts are needed which fulfill the following requirements: uniform user-interface for all systems, quick and easy use for naive and trained drivers as well and modularity in systems and functions.
