Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new input interface for interaction with in-vehicle systems (traffic information, car phones etc). The new device is a touchpad of small dimensions designed to record any control-gesture drawn with the finger by the user. An analysis is carried out of the tasks to be achieved by the driver and a method called “brainstormingïs used to generate a set of possible gestures. A neural network approach is applied for the recognition of gestures. The method is tested on a database of 5252 uppercase letters written by 101 different writers. The average error rate is less than 6,5%. The method is also of great interest in terms of speed and memory space.
