“…As discussed in the introduction, behavioral compensation of older drivers has been observed in many high-level behaviors (Langford et al, 2008; Andrews & Westerman, 2012; Platten et al, 2013; Trick et al, 2013). Our study, for the first time, demonstrated that older drivers could also adopt flexible response criteria for driving hazard detection.…”

“…This compensation comes with the cost of increased false alarms that could potentially lead to more braking events and a slower speed. Indeed, evidence has shown that older drivers do drive more slowly (Platten et al, 2013; Reimer et al, 2013; Trick, Toxopeus & Wilson, 2010), and are more likely to be involved in rear-end crashes that could be a result of sudden braking (Yan, Radwan, & Abdel-Aty, 2005). …”

“…Many studies showed that older drivers adopt compensatory driving behaviors (for a review, see Staplin, Lococo, Martell, & Stutts, 2012) such as traveling fewer miles (Langford, Koppel, McCarthy, & Srinivasan, 2008), driving much more slowly (Bromberg, Oron-Gilad, Ronen, Borowsky, & Parmet, 2012; Kaber, Zhang, Jin, Mosaly & Garner, 2012; Platten et al, 2013; Trick, Toxopeus & Wilson, 2010), keeping a longer headway distance (Andrews & Westerman, 2012; Trick et al, 2010), and avoiding challenging driving situations such as left turns and driving in heavy traffic (Andrews & Westerman, 2012; Horberry, Anderson, Regan, Triggs & Brown, 2006). However, there has been very few investigation on whether any compensatory behavior directly benefits hazard detection in driving.…”

OBJECTIVES The majority of existing investigations on attention, aging, and driving have focused on the negative impacts of age-related declines in attention on hazard detection and driver performance. However, driving skills and behavioral compensation may accommodate the negative effects that age-related attentional decline places on driving performance. In this study, we examined an important question that had been largely neglected in the literature linking attention, aging, and driving: can top-down factors such as behavioral compensation, specifically adaptive response criteria, accommodate the negative impacts from age-related attention declines on hazard detection during driving? METHODS In the experiment, we used the Drive Aware Task, a task combining the driving context with well-controlled laboratory procedures measuring attention. We compared younger (n = 16, age 21 – 30) and older drivers (n = 21, age 65 – 79) on their attentional processing of hazards in driving scenes, indexed by percentage of correct and reaction time of hazard detection, as well as sensitivity and response criterion using the signal detection analysis. RESULTS Older drivers, in general, were less accurate and slower on the task than younger drivers. However, results from this experiment also revealed that older, but not younger, drivers adapted their response criteria when the traffic condition changed in the driving scenes. When there was more traffic in the driving scene, older drivers became more liberal in their responses, meaning that they were more likely to report that a driving hazard was detected. CONCLUSIONS Older drivers adopt compensatory strategies on hazard detection during driving . Our findings showed that, in the driving context, even at an old age our attentional functions are still adaptive according to environmental conditions. This leads to considerations on potential training methods to promote adaptive strategies which may help older drivers maintaining performance in road hazard detection.

“…Recently, in-vehicle information systems (IVIS), a combination of automobile and IT technologies have emerged as an increasingly important aspect of transportation technology (Horrey et al, 2006;Yoon et al, 2015aYoon et al, , 2015b. Cluster and head-up displays (HUD) and infotainment systems (AVN: audio, video, navigation) are commonly used in most vehicles and are commonly referred to as IVIS (Beck et al, 2019;Feng et al, 2018;Kula et al, 2017;Platten et al, 2013). A cluster is a type of instrument panel that provides detailed information about a vehicle in a driving situation (Bauerfeind et al, 2017;Broy, Zierer et al, 2014).…”

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.
