Description

RSSB is seeking to procure research to highlight the minimal specifications needed in order to integrate new mobile technology into the driver's task. As technology use grows separately within different organisations, it is important that all operators have clear guidance on what the functional and ergonomic requirements are of a device to support specific driving tasks. In turn this will allow operators to identify the most appropriate device to procure. Standards and guidance surrounding smart devices within driver's tasks revolves mostly around the distraction risk rather than the requirements for the devices.
