	Speech-based Interaction with In-vehicle Computers: The Effect of Speech-based E-mail on Drivers’ Attention to the Roadway   5/31/00 11:52:26 AM Authors:   Lee, J. D., Caven, B., Haake, S., & Brown, T. L. (Cognitive Systems Laboratory, University of Iowa, Department of Industrial Engineering, Iowa City, Iowa). View Entire Paper Abstract As computer applications for cars emerge, speech-based interfaces provide an obvious alternative to the visually demanding graphical user interfaces common on desktop applications. However, speech-based interfaces may pose cognitive demands that could undermine driving safety. This study uses a car-following task to evaluate how a speech-based e-mail system affects drivers’ response to a periodically braking lead vehicle. A baseline condition with no e-mail system was compared to a simple and a complex e-mail system in both simple and complex driving environments. The results show a 30% (310 msec) increase in reaction time when the speech-based system is present. Subjective workload ratings also indicate that speech-based interaction introduces a significant cognitive load, which is highest for the complex e-mail system. A simple model of driver performance shows that, in imminent collision situations, the 310 msec delay induced by the speech-based interface can have important safety implications.   E-Distraction: The Challenges for Safe and Usable Internet Services in Vehicles   5/31/00 12:04:41 PM   Speech based E mail on drivers attention   7/6/00 1:42:05 PM   E distractions the challenges   7/6/00 2:02:33 PM   wireless internet (e-mail)   7/6/00 3:03:22 PM   Hmmmmm....   7/11/00 7:36:53 AM   Talk and Drive   7/12/00 11:27:20 AM   talking to computers vs. talking to humans   7/12/00 12:49:01 PM   talking to computers vs. talking to humans   7/12/00 12:49:21 PM   This is an absolutely absurd idea   7/15/00 12:35:08 AM   You *can* safely use e-mail while traveling...   7/15/00 11:47:07 AM   Its a basic answer...   7/15/00 4:40:55 PM   Cars MUST be connected to the internet.   7/15/00 10:41:58 PM   voice controled emails   7/16/00 11:46:17 AM   Re: OnStar   7/17/00 4:26:21 PM   Outlaw this dangerous distraction   7/19/00 9:15:56 AM   Importance of life   7/19/00 10:54:48 AM   You're nuts!   7/19/00 11:01:06 AM   Time Waits for No one, nor do Emails   7/19/00 1:50:15 PM   RE: Outlaw this dangerous distraction   7/19/00 2:07:37 PM   Driver use is the problem, not passenger use   7/25/00 2:16:35 PM   The Future vs. the Past   7/25/00 7:28:38 PM   The Future vs. the Past   7/25/00 7:28:44 PM   Conversation   7/26/00 10:14:57 AM   No, You're nuts!
