The deisgn of an Experimental Route Guidance System (ERGS) is reported in four volumes. ERGS is an electronic system intended to provide an optimum solution to the problem of directing drivers from any origin to any destination (intersection) within the continental United States. It also provides a potential for assigning traffic to the road network to the advantage of both the drivers and efficient operation of the network. The system design makes use of electronic equipment both in the participating vehicles and at intersections which are to supply routing instructions. The system is destination oriented. The driver enters a code work representing his intended destination into the vehicle equipment. Then, as the vehicle approaches each instrumental intersection, the destination code is transmitted to the roadside where it is decoded according to a stored program and a routing instruction is transmitted back to the vehicle. Volume 3 describes the human factors design of a driver display which visually presents routing instructions and makes recommendations for the experimental evaluation of system performance. (Author)
