A number of important considerations are identified, and information on how they are being addressed by the Administration is presented. Seven basic human factors-related questions are used as a conceptual framework for identifying these considerations, and for describing how they might be addressed. These are: (1) Why do drivers need navigation information? (2) What information do they need? (3) When do they need it? (4) Where should it be located? (5) How should it be displayed and accessed? (6) Who are the users and what are their characteristics? (7) Can they use the systems effectively? It is concluded that it is important that government, private industry, electronics engineers, and human factors specialists work together to produce optimum systems configurations for the motoring public.
