INTEGRATION OF THE WELL BEING IN THE EARLY PHASES OF THE AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN PROCESS: FIRST APPROACH AND CONTRIBUTION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES
In this paper is presented the opportunity to consider the user's Well being in an automotive context directly from the early phases of the design process by proposing new kinds of tools and methods. After establishing a definition of Well being, an evaluation method is suggested enabling the car designers to assess how a new system would impact the driver's Well being. More precisely, a first experiment studying the possibility to use physiological measures in order to quantify the driver's Well being is presented.
