Abstract
The growth of function in vehicle needs complex display and control system, the In-Vehicle Information System(IVIS). Although Current IVISs are widely implemented in commercial vehicles, a new form of IVIS has been recently studied in order to reduce drivers' workloads. The purpose of this study is to suggest an appropriate menu structure of a new type IVIS, to be implemented on the instrument cluster panel, using Taguchi's parameter design. In the research, firstly, functions were selected that are appropriate to control through the instrument cluster among existing functions of current IVISs by quantitative evaluation of ergonomic principles. Then, menu structure altematives were extracted by investigating priorities to those functions selected. Finally, menu structure altematives were evaluated through an experiment and suggest the most appropriate one by applying Taguchi's parameter design. Taguchi method was used not only for planning an experiment but also evaluating altematives. SN ratios were a key value to evaluate the altematives and to find the most proper one. Through the research, the most appropriate menu structure for the instrument cluster IVIS was finally suggested among the altematives and it is expected that the results of this research could provide a guideline to the instnllnent cluster IVIS.
