“…Probably, unity was perceived by proximity and color between car and arrow. Distance from the car to the maneuver contributes to performing the tactical task (Ross et al 1996;Pugliesi, Decanini and Tachibana 2009;Ramos et al 2016). Moreover, those who prefer the route and arrow contoured in black with the car in blue seem to put priority on location.…”

“…The scale used for the maps was 1/6000, since this was easier than other map scales used by a group of drivers with NCV in the context of route guidance (Ramos et al 2014b;Ramos et al 2016). Maps were created by using ESRI ArcGIS software.…”

“…Some research works about RGNS map design take the cartographic communication process into account (e.g. : Li and Ho 2004;Lee, Forlizzi and Hudson 2008;Pugliesi, Decanini and Tachibana 2009;Ramos et al 2016), however we found few investigations in the literature that considered drivers with CVD (Pugliesi and Decanini 2011;Oliveira et al 2012).…”

“…The authors state that questionnaires and interviews have been used to collect data concerning preferences, as emphasized by researches by , Ramos et al (2014a) and Ramos et al (2016). evaluated the preference of 28 drivers with NCV in relation to the map representation or turn-by-turn for RGNS.…”

“…The direction arrow in green hue was the mostly preferred by the drivers instead of red arrow. Ramos et al (2016) evaluated the preference of 52 drivers with NCV in relation to the map representation scale. Among four scales evaluated, 1: 1,000, 1: 3,000, 1: 6,000 and 1: 10,000, the results indicated that most drivers preferred intermediate scales 1: 3,000 and 1: 6,000.…”

Driver Preference Concerning in-Car Route Guidance and Navigation System Maps for Drivers With Color Vision Deficiency

In-car Route Guidance and Navigation Systems (RGNS) are used to help drivers navigate. These maps have mainly been designed to accommodate drivers with normal color vision. However, the color perception of people with normal color vision differs from that of people with color vision deficiency. When navigating, understanding certain kinds of information presented by RGNS maps can be a more complex task for colorblind drivers and traffic safety may be impacted negatively. An important aspect related to the graphic design of RGNS maps is the use of a good combination of colors to improve map legibility. Cartographic representations with good legibility aid drivers in comprehending information and making appropriate decisions during driving tasks. This paper evaluates driver preference for RGNS maps designed for drivers with color vision deficiency. A total of 14 subjects participated in an experiment performed in a parked car. Maps were designed to accommodate red-blinds and green-blinds by using a color simulator and principles of perceptual grouping and figure-ground segregation. Based on the results, we conclude that the map grouping symbols representing car and direction arrows in blue segregated from the route in black was more acceptable to drivers compared to other combinations. It is recommended that RGNS should offer a specific graphic design to support drivers with color vision deficiency in navigating.

Noise from the information communication process produced by the interfaces of navigation systems has overloaded drivers' cognitive processing systems and increased the probability of traffic accidents. This work evaluates the usability of maps of different scales in a prototype route guidance and navigation system. The maps were designed on basic cartographic communication principles, such as perceptive grouping and figure-ground segregation, as well drivers’ requirements for performing a tactical task. Two different scales were adopted, 1:3,000 and 1:6,000, and the maps implemented in the prototype. A total of 52 subjects (26 males and 26 females) participated in an experiment performed in a driving simulator. The maps describe an urban route composed of 13 simple and complex maneuvers. The drivers’ mental workload was measured in terms of visual demand, navigational error and subjective preference. Results reveal that the usability of maps is influenced by map scale variation, and this is related to maneuver complexity. Also, an association between drivers’ visual demand and gender was found, and this was related to drivers’ spatial ability. More implications are presented and discussed.

The Positioning of Street Names on Egocentrically Referenced Maps: Assessment of Reading Time

The main objective of this research is to evaluate the reading time of street names on dynamic egocentrically referenced maps for In-Car Route Guidance and Navigation Systems. Two different road network patterns (grid-like or non-grid-like) were considered and tasks were devised to search for street names in two different route segments (where the driver was, or where the driver would have to manoeuvre). Considering a non-grid-like road network pattern, for the task of searching for the name of a road where the driver would manoeuvre, street names aligned horizontally and next to the route were read significantly faster than street names positioned along the route. Street names positioned obliquely required more reading time than street names aligned horizontally. Dynamic maps egocentrically referenced should present street names horizontally aligned and next to the route for the segment related to where the driver will manoeuvre, for both road network patterns. Also, Street names should be positioned next to the car symbol.
