“…Individuals under vibration scenarios usually required extra efforts to maintain physical balance (Graham, 1990; Wertheim, 1998) and may suffer dizziness, discomfort, disturbance, and activity interference (Newell & Mansfield, 2006; Stevens & Parsons, 2002; Sundström, 2006; Tao et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2020). These consequences of vibration may degrade the efficiency of performing tasks when using input devices/fingers to point and drag with GUIs.…”

Pointing and dragging are fundamental actions by input devices when interacting with computer graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Cockpits on modern vehicles have been increasingly equipped with GUIs, enabling pointing and dragging tasks to be frequently performed under vibration conditions. However, factors influencing these fundamental actions under vibration conditions have not been fully explored. This study aimed to explore the effects of vibration, input devices, and target size on the performance and perceived workload in basic human–computer interaction tasks. Twenty‐seven participants completed an experiment where they were required to conduct two pointing tasks and one dragging‐and‐dropping task using four input devices (mouse, touchscreen, trackball, and remote hand‐controller) under static and three vibration conditions (lateral, fore‐and‐aft, and omnidirectional vibration) with two target sizes (small and large). The results indicated that vibration caused longer task completion time, higher error rates, and more workload in completing pointing and dragging tasks. Both target size and input device affected task performance in vibration environments. Highest workload was perceived when using remote hand‐controller, followed by trackballs under all vibration conditions; there was no significant difference between mouse and touchscreen, except in terms of physical demand. The findings suggest that practitioners should fully consider the joint effects of input device, target size, and vibration to counteract adverse influence of vibration and optimize user interface designs of human‐computer systems in vibration environments.

“…The above discussion suggests that, contrary to the assumption concerning a benefit of shields over white markings, an opposite pattern, of advantage for the white over shields, was detected. This may be explained by the human visual system’s sensitivity to high contrasts ( Wang et al, 2021 ), suggesting that white over black is more salient then red over black. This explanation fits the findings of a study reporting a benefit for white delineators over many other colors ( Abou-Senna et al, 2021 ).…”

Objective A driving simulator study was conducted to test the effect of directions pavement markings (DPMs) on drivers’ performance. Background The perception of traditional direction signs may be less efficient than that of DPMs because drivers allocate more attentional resources to the road than to any other location. Method Two experimental conditions of DPMs were tested: (a) the name of the lane’s destination town, inscribed in white letters; (b) red and white shields enclosing the name of the lane’s destination town. In both conditions, the name or shield was preceded by a white arrow and traditional road signs were presented as well. The experimental conditions were compared to a baseline condition, which consisted of traditional road signs only. Various scenarios of three-lane highways were simulated and the number of vehicles on the road was manipulated, forming a 2 × 3 design (two load conditions × three experimental conditions). Twenty-two participants took part in the experiment. Results Pavement markings in both configurations were highly beneficial. Compared with the baseline condition, in both experimental conditions, the drivers noticed the correct lane sooner and moved to the correct lane earlier. Results also suggested that white markings are more beneficial than shield markings; however, this finding should be further confirmed. Conclusion Lane DPMS are desirable as they are likely to improve traffic safety at relatively low cost. Application Regulations demanding the presence of DPMs, at the very least in low visibility decision sites, would increase traffic safety.

“…They studied eye movement data, collected from experienced port pilots operating on three different models of ECDIS, and found a significant difference between the participant port pilots and expert users. Wang et al (2020) examined the effect of colour combinations on performance of visual search tasks and found that colour combination significantly affected response time of the participants while not having a significant effect on their performance. They recommended colour combinations with negative polarity (e.g., yellow on black and white on black) for presenting search interfaces.…”
