The present deliverable represents the first phase of AIDE Subproject 2. The principal goal of the Subproject is "to develop a cost efficient and industrially applicable methodology for quantifying behavioural effects of IVIS and ADAS functions, and their relation to road safety". So, in this first phase of work, the state of the art of the methodologies used to evaluate IVIS and ADAS applications has been collected. In particular, this research has focused mainly on techniques used to estimate user mental model, usability and acceptability. Other important factors as Workload and Situational Awareness have been only briefly illustrated here. A deep analysis about techniques used to investigate these dimensions will be given in Deliverable 2.2.1, which purpose is to review all workload methods. For this reason this Deliverable and D2.2.1 are strictly linked each other and they are the starting point to define a common framework of tools and methods in order to conduct behavioural and usability evaluations of IVI / ADA systems. A general overview of the deliverable organization is described in the first chapter named "Deliverable objective and structure". The second chapter gives a general classification of the different methods, using the definitions of usability engineering field. User-Centred Design approach is the main point of reference of all work. Then, in chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 detailed descriptions are furnished. Each chapter focuses on a specific factor (Users Mental Model, Usability, Acceptability, etc) giving a theoretical description of the techniques mostly used to evaluate these factors. In the Appendices some practical applications are described. At the end, on the basis of the literature review, we have derived to: - a list of dimension to take into consideration during a behavioural test. The dimensions are grouped on the basis of different modalities of interactions; - a Step-By-Step procedure for Test Design
