There has been recent interest in intelligent vehicle technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) or in-vehicle information systems (IVISs) that offer a significant enhancement of safety and convenience to drivers and passengers. However, unsuitable design of HMI(Human Machine nterface) must increase driver distraction and workload, which in turn increase the chance of traffic accidents. Distraction in particular often ocurs under a heavy driving workload due to multitasking with various electronic devices like a cell phone or a navigation system while driving. According to the 2005 road traffic accidents in Korea report published by the ROad Traffic Authority (ROTA) more than 60% of the traffic accidents are related to driver error caused by distraction. This paper suggests the implementation of vehicle environment to monitor driver and vehicle to reduce the driving workload which is can be used the advanced driver and vehicle management systems (ADVMS). On-road experiment results showed the feasibility of the suggested vehicle environment for driver and vehicle monitoring.
