Summary:

We are faced with a rapidly increasing flood of information tothe driver. In addition to established information systems (carradio, vehicle monitoring, mobile phones), high class vehiclesfeature navigation systems almost as standard. In the next decade,driver assistance and collision mitigation systems will appear invehicles.Hence, there is an increasing demand for supplying the driverwith more information that help him to drive safer and moreeconomical. In parallel, the price decline in the computer marketand the availability of powerful graphic hard- and softwareconcepts make it possible to enhance the classical functions of theinstrument board to an interactive multifunctional informationpanel, and the dashboard will be the main interface between car anddriver. Future vehicle information systems will provide thisinformation in two information centers, a programmable instrumentcluster with driver relevant information and a center consoledisplay with driver and passenger relevant information. For thesesystems the question for additional visual and cognitive stress,and a possible distraction of the driver by the huge amount ofinformation, and its complexity becomes predominant.Reconfigurable instruments (RCI), based on a microprocessorcontrolled active matrix color display, provide a powerfulalternative to the usual mechanical/elec-tromechanical clusterinstruments in vehicles. They will help to strengthen passivesafety, they adapt to user and situation requirements, and they areeasy to install, configure, and maintain. RCIs in future cars willhave a tremendous impact on traffic since they canalize much moreinformation than ever provided to the driver. The functions aremanifold and reach from classical driver information like speed tonavigation and finally to Video and Multimedia access
