Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15008 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 13,

ISO 15008:2003(E)
Introduction
Driver and vehicle form an integrated system that includes the environment, the primary vehicle controls, the
instrumentation and the transport information and control systems (TICS). The driving task, as well as human
capabilities and limitations, are other important factors in the performance of this system.
TICS are intended to support the driver in his or her primary task, and it is therefore expected that the overall
workload of the driver will not be negatively influenced by their use, while performance and comfort are
increased.
The visual characteristics of display systems are only one set of factors influencing this process. They
therefore have to be considered, along with human capabilities, in relation to the other elements of the driving
environment.
Visual specifications fall within a wide range of environmental conditions, and constitute only a necessary
condition for adequate performance, comfort and workload. Thus they refer to the relevant range of
illumination conditions and to the location of the display with respect to the driver.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15008:2003(E)

Road vehicles — Ergonomic aspects of transport information
and control systems — Specifications and compliance
procedures for in-vehicle visual presentation
1 Scope
This International Standard gives minimum specifications for the image quality and legibility of displays
containing dynamic (changeable) visual information presented to the driver of a road vehicle by on-board
transport information and control systems (TICS) used while the vehicle is in motion. These specifications are
intended to be independent of display technologies, while test methods and measurements for assessing
compliance with them have been included where necessary.
This International Standard is applicable to mainly perceptual, and some basic cognitive, components of the visual
information: these include character legibility and colour recognition. It is not applicable to other factors affecting
performance and comfort such as coding, format and dialogue characteristics, or to displays using
 superimposed information on the external field (e.g. head-up displays),
 pictorial images (e.g. closed-circuit TV for reversing),
 maps and topographic representations (e.g. those for setting navigation systems), or
 static information (e.g. control labels, telltales).
