This paper provides an overview of the program of research involved in the development of a set of driver-vehicle interface (DVI) design assistance intended for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology applications. The research reviewed and performed under the NHTSA sponsored program of research (Human Factors for Connected Vehicles (HFCV), Safety Pilot DVI Evaluations, Driver Issues, and Integration Strategy) will culminate in a DVI Design Assistance Document for V2V technology applications. The results of the research will inform this document, which will be a set of Design Assistance topics and will describe appropriate human-centric design attributes for the DVI.
