“…Second, with respect to technological interventions, previous research has evaluated whether speech-based text entry methods and/or head-mounted, wearable display system can ameliorate the distraction caused by texting but it was found that drivers are still distracted relative to driving while not texting [14–16]. A smartphone application that blocks incoming messages was shown to reduce novice drivers’ sending text messages while driving, although 15% of the drivers tried to bypass the blocking system [17] (see also [18], who found that 91% of high school students were not interested in using a smartphone application that locks the phone completely while driving).…”

The primary purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of threat appeals in influencing impulsive decision making associated with texting while driving. The participants in the treatment group were exposed to a threatening message about the danger of texting while driving, whereas those in the control group were exposed to a non-threatening message. Following the exposure to either message, the participants completed a delay-discounting task that assessed the degree of impulsive decision making in a hypothetical texting-while-driving scenario. A comparison between the groups revealed that the threat appeals reduced the degree of impulsive decision making associated with texting while driving. In addition, the threat appeals led to greater anticipated regret from texting while driving, less favorable attitudes toward texting while driving, and decreased intentions to text while driving in the future in the treatment group. These results suggest that video-based threat appeals are promising intervention strategies for the public health challenge of texting while driving. Implications from the behavioral economic perspective are discussed.

“…As we continue to interact with our ever-changing screens more frequently, and in shorter bursts-the smartphone is already giving way to the even smaller, more immediate smartwatch and other wearable technologies (Samost et al 2015;Sawyer et al 2014;Beckers et al 2017),-glance-reading takes centre stage. While this new type of reading might be second nature to Millennials, who tend to be acutely aware of how new technologies work, what does this mean for older people who have years of experience with traditional long-form reading?…”

“…It was 12 years ago that Steve Jobs introduced the modern smart phone to the world, and in that brief time mobile computing has become the centre of our attention. Low-resolution screens, once restricted to our desks, now offer high definition imagery and messages in our pockets, on our wrists, in our cars, and even perched on our faces (Sawyer et al 2014;Beckers et al 2017). Such ubiquitous screen real estate has changed both user expectations and interaction.…”

“…Driving, walking, socialising, all presently compete with glanceable interfaces. Failures in these tasks involve consequences ranging from the inconvenient to the fatal (see Reimer et al 2014;Sawyer et al 2014, Beckers et al 2017. The human tendency to multitask makes it imperative that digital information be delivered efficiently; every moment spent focussed away from important situational information makes failure at a task more likely.…”

Typography plays an increasingly important role in today's dynamic digital interfaces. Graphic designers and interface engineers have more typographic options than ever before. Sorting through this maze of design choices can be a daunting task. Here we present the results of an experiment comparing differences in glance-based legibility between eight popular sans-serif typefaces. The results show typography to be more than a matter of taste, especially in safety critical contexts such as in-vehicle interfaces. Our work provides both a method and rationale for using glanceable typefaces, as well as actionable information to guide design decisions for optimised usability in the fast-paced mobile world in which information is increasingly consumed in a few short glances. Practitioner summary: There is presently no accepted scientific method for comparing font legibility under time-pressure, in 'glanceable' interfaces such as automotive displays and smartphone notifications. A 'bake-off' method is demonstrated with eight popular sans-serif typefaces. The results produce actionable information to guide design decisions when information must be consumed at-a-glance.

“…After each task was completed, the participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire about usability and a single global workload rating [34]. When the process was repeated Chinese characters using the typeface named Noto sans s Chinese Regular were displayed in pure white (RGB: 255, 255, 255) against a background of a pure black (RGB: 0, 0, 0) in the center of a 12.3-inch screen with 16:9 ratio (see Figure 2).…”

Design Guidelines for the Size and Length of Chinese Characters Displayed in the Intelligent Vehicle’s Central Console Interface

In order to ensure the driver’s safe driving, the human–computer interaction interface of an intelligent vehicle needs to convey important information. The text is an important carrier of this kind of information. The design criteria of English characters have been widely discussed, including the color, meaning, size and length. However, design guidelines for Chinese characters in central consoles of vehicles have rarely been discussed from a human–computer interaction perspective. In this paper, we investigated the size and the length of Chinese characters in the intelligent vehicle’s central control screen, based on international design guidelines and standards. The experiment involved 30 participants performing simulated in-vehicle secondary tasks. The result from the experiments shows that the usability of characters increases and the driver’s workload decreases as the characters get larger and shorter. We also propose a set of recommended values for the size and length of Chinese characters in this context. Future work will focus on providing design guidelines for other aspects of HMI design in intelligent vehicles.
