We analyzed the button input method of infotainment systems as part of the in-vehicle information system (IVIS) interface and related research. As IVIS becomes more complex and the need for drivervehicle interaction increases, so does the potential risk that accompanies driver input. In this study, we propose to analyze the influence of the touch button shape, background, button and text color combination, and the presence/absence of a button border on the usability of the button input operation, which has not been studied before. Thus, participants were made to perform a button press operation in various combined conditions in a driving simulator. For keypads of the same diagonal length, we recommend a square-shaped touch keypad. In addition, the use of an edge and a specific color combination has a positive effect on the overall task performance and user satisfaction. These results are expected to be useful in the development of effective IVIS information display and input.

“…Results show that the effects of specificity is dependent on the modality of the warning. Francois et al (2017) compared three speedometer display patterns in a simulated truck-driving setting: digital, analog, and redundant speedometers. It was found that the digital speedometer is more efficient and less visually distracting for absolute and relative reading tasks, whereas the analog speedometer is more effective for detecting a dynamic speed change.…”

Assessment of Drivers’ Perceptions of Connected Vehicle–Human Machine Interface for Driving Under Adverse Weather Conditions: Preliminary Findings From Wyoming

2020

Connected vehicle (CV) technology aims to improve drivers' situational awareness through audible and visual warnings displayed on a human-machine interface (HMI), thus reducing crashes caused by human error. This paper developed a driving simulator test bed to assess the readability and usefulness of the Wyoming CV applications. A total number of 26 professional drivers were recruited to participate in a driving-simulator study. Prior to driving the simulator, the participants were trained on both the concept of CV technology and the developed CV applications as well as the operation of the driving simulator. Three driving simulation scenarios were designed. For each scenario, participants drove two times: one with the HMI turned on and another one with the HMI turned off. After driving the simulator, a comprehensive revealed-preference survey was employed to collect the participants' perceptions of CV technology and Wyoming CV applications. Results show that the Wyoming CV applications were most favored under poor-visibility driving conditions. Among the Wyoming CV applications, forward collision warning and rerouting applications were experienced as the most useful. Approximately 89% of the participants stated that the Wyoming CV applications provided them with improved road condition information and increased their experienced safety while driving; 65% of the participants stated the CV applications and the HMI did not introduce distraction from the primary task of driving. Finally, this paper concludes that the design of CV HMI needs to balance a trade-off between the readability of the warnings and drivers' capability to safely recognize and timely respond to the received warnings.

“…Naujoks et al (21) revealed that participants preferred to use visualauditory HMI display pattern since the additional voice warnings could inform drivers in a nondistracting way. Franc¸ois et al (22) used a truck driving simulator to compare the effectiveness of digital, analog, and redundant speedometer display patterns. Results indicated that in general, digital speedometer tended to be more efficient and less visually distracting, whereas analog speedometer was more effective for detecting a dynamic speed change.…”

Connected vehicle (CV) technology aims to improve drivers’ situational awareness through audible and visual warnings, commonly displayed on a human–machine interface (HMI), thus reducing the likelihood of crashes caused by human error. Nevertheless, the presence of an in-vehicle CV HMI may pose an increasing threat to driver distraction, particularly for truck drivers and under high workload driving conditions. With this concern, this research investigated the effects of a HMI developed by the Wyoming Department of Transportation CV Pilot on truck drivers’ cognitive distraction and driving behavior through a driving simulator experiment. Revealed preference survey and vehicle dynamics data were employed to assess the cognitive distractions of the Pilot’s HMI. Simulation results indicated that when CV warnings were displayed on the HMI, they did not introduce significant effects on participants’ longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle. Nevertheless, from the revealed preference survey, it was found that approximately 27% of the participants indicated that the CV HMI tended to introduce additional visual workload for them, particularly when approaching an active freeway work zone under reduced visibility condition. In this regard, this research pointed out that the design of CV warnings and HMI displays needs to incorporate drivers’ ability to recognize and react safely to the received CV warnings to minimize the cognitive distractions introduced by the CV HMI.
