In an advanced driver information system, computer voice messages and nonverbal auditory signals provide a means of imparting information to the driver without creating a visual distraction. In the TravTek system, synthesized voice has been used extensively as a supplement to the visual display, providing route guidance instructions, navigation assistance, and traffic information. Special consideration has been given to strategies for maximizing the acceptability of synthesized voice to drivers. TravTek voice messages are designed as concise utterances that aid the driver in reaching the destination easily, quickly, and safely. Data collected from onboard computers, controlled experiments, and driver questionnaires will be analyzed to evaluate user acceptance and feature preferences.
