“…Heslop (2014) found that young drivers, as well as people who are less conscientious and less enthusiastic about driving, are more likely to suffer driver boredom. Despite the lack of further knowledge about boredom in this context, we can derive insights into the phenomenon from literature in general.…”

“…One of the causes for drivers seeking distractions may be driver boredom , i.e., situations in which engagement in the driving task is low, as hypothesised by Schroeter et al (2014) and Heslop (2014) . As laid out by Heslop, theories of optimal arousal (Yerkes & Dodson 1908) and optimal experience (Csikszentmihalyi 1997) maintain that boredom is generally linked to low task performance.…”

“…To limit driver boredom and safety risks while driving, Heslop (2014) and Schroeter et al (2014) propose to test interventions that encourage engagement in the driving task. Speaking more generally about increasingly automated environments, Cummings et al (2015) puts forward the same strategy for various supervisory control settings such as aviation, security, process control, and ground transportation.…”

“…Stimulated by this perspective, my attention turns towards boredom. Schroeter et al (2014) and Heslop (2014) hypothesise that one of the causes for drivers seeking distractions may be boredom. Heslop refers to theories of optimal arousal (Yerkes & Dodson 1908) and optimal experience (Csikszentmihalyi 1997) to unfold that boredom is generally linked to weak task performance.…”

“…In terms of trait boredom, Heslop (2014) investigated the relationship between individual differences and driver boredom. He found that people who are younger, less conscientious, and less enthusiastic about driving are more likely to suffer driver boredom, therefore posing a higher threat to road safety.…”

Automotive User Interfaces

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This book is about automotive user interfaces. In the last years the importance of user interfaces for in-vehicle usage has increased strongly. Different studies show that over 80% of today's innovations in the automotive industry are based on car electronics and its software. These innovations can be categorized into hidden technologies (e.g., ASP, ESP), comfort functions (e.g., navigation, communication, entertainment) or driver assistance (e.g., distance checking). Especially the last two categories have to be configurable by the driver and therefore require a certain amount of driver interaction. This results in a need for a modern and consistent automotive user interface which on the one hand allows the configuration of these systems and on the other hand conforms to the specialized requirements of the automotive industry. Some of these requirements are: the interaction devices have to be integrated into a limited space; the automotive user interface has to be intuitively usable and adaptable, since drivers generally do not get an extensive explanation and the automotive user interface has to be very easy to use and should distract the driver as little as possible from his main task of driving. The increased complexity of automotive user interfaces, the importance of using consumer electronic devices like smartphones in the car as well as autonomous driving has induced a lot of research at universities and industrial companies. The specific chapters in this book cover a relatively broad spectrum of detailed research topics in the area of automotive user interfaces concerning, e.g. usability and user experience, interaction techniques and technologies, applications, etc. This book provides an outstanding overview as well as deep insights into the area of automotive user interfaces, which is an important topic in the field of humancomputer interaction. Besides aiming to be a reference in its area, this book is intended as a very significant and valuable source for professional practitioners, researchers as well as senior and postgraduate computer science and engineering students. v
