It is noted that one possible way is to bring the company to a higher level of fleet management control. A basic condition for managing a fleet in a running process is the ability to communicate with the fleet, but more is necessary. Research has shown that it is of great importance to change the internal organization of the company to obtain the maximum profit from the communications system. Information is given on the technical and organizational conditions necessary. The data presented are derived from trials of a space-based radio system by several companies in the Netherlands.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"131 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121225683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

User interfaces generally adopt a single paradigm for the presentation of navigation information. It is argued that this assumes a homogeneous user community and ignores individual driver ability in spatial cognition, attention, and other problem-solving issues. It is suggested that the next generation of aids should be designed with more attention to the manner in which people structure, recall, and utilize spatial information naturally. Literature on spatial knowledge, individual differences, and human subject categorization is reviewed. Recommendations are made for the design of future user interfaces in order to provide more usable navigation assistance to individual drivers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128023094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author reviews current research in spatial knowledge acquisition in computer science, psychology, and geography, and how these models can enhance vehicle navigation aid development. Current research in cognitive psychology and environmental behavior related to the presentation of driving instructions to drivers is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114463033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following question was asked: would the accident have taken place if any of the parties involved had one of these aids at his disposal? To answer, the authors used 350 police reports, referring to results from files of in-depth accident studies. By appropriate statistical means (correspondence analyses) the efficiency of each driving aid in each situation and condition was specified, not only to determine what is globally at stake, but also to get an idea of more precise targets: driving aids particularly fitted to specific problems. A typology of accidents, drivers' needs, and efficient aids is analyzed. Conclusions are drawn about devices that appear most promising.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366041,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of papers presented at the First Vehicle Navigation and Information Systems Conference (VNIS '89)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131592497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The navigation component of the work aims at improving system performance efficiency by accumulation and dissemination of information so as to improve on the utilization of available network resources. This is achieved by alternative routeings of vehicles, incident detection and avoidance, and the routeing and scheduling of commercial and institutional vehicle fleets, and, ultimately, improved time and route planning of trips.
