DD Guidelines and MirrorLink™
Challenges
• Different driver distraction guidelines for
different regions
• Guidelines are designed for a complete
system vs. MirrorLink™ ecosystem
consists of different entities
• Technical Requirements vs. Driver
Distraction Guidelines
Drive-Certified Application Requirements
Compilation of Regional Guidelines – EU
Apply ESoP
Drive-Certified Application Requirements
Compilation of Regional Guidelines – EU & NA
Combine AAM and ESoP
Drive-Certified Application Requirements

Global Guidelines
Divided/Shared Responsibility
Example AAM Guidelines
1. Installation Principles
•
Head Unit
2. Information Presentation Principles
•
Smartphone
Head unit installation
e.g., workload, font size, contrast
3. Principles on Interactions with
Displays/Controls
•
e.g., chunkibility, pace of interaction
4. System Behavior Principles
Application
•
e.g., no video, lock of functions
5. Principles on Information About the
System
•

MirrorLink™ Developer Requirements
Minimizing Driver Distraction
• Guiding Principals
• Nothing that demands the driver’s attention
• Quickly comprehendible and accessible
• Restricted Content
• No video, incidental animations or flashing
• No automatic scrolling text
• Visual Accessibility
• Color contrast – brightness & color differences
• Text legibility (Minimum height, Font
requirements)
• Manual Accessibility
• No two-handed operations
• Control sizing and spacing
MirrorLink™ Developer Requirements
Measuring Driver Distraction
• Only NA and Japan
• Occlusion Testing
• Bench testing with a pool (~24) of
users
• 50% male, 50% female
• 45-65 years of age
• 1 hour training
• Special goggles that switch from
transparent (1.5 seconds) to opaque
(1 second)
• Must be able to perform a task with a
total open time of less than 15
seconds for 85% of testers
MirrorLink™ Developer Requirements
Measuring Driver Distraction
• Only NA
• Additional Test Methods
Pending
• Eye tracking simulation testing
• Driver performance simulation
testing
• Only 1 method will be required
– app developers will be able to
choose their preferred method
Conclusion – DD Guidelines and MirrorLink™
The MirrorLink™ Developer Requirements:
•
cover the most relevant criteria for the driver
workload
•
use a common format for all regions
•
give additional hints for a good HMI
•
are ready to be published
 The developer requirements support developing
of applications that can be used while driving
