“…A symbol simply presented in isolation with a request for a statement of its meaning may lead to lower comprehension than would occur if the symbol were presented in its conventional context. Baber and Wankling (1992), for example, reported that respondents commented that in-car warning symbols were harder to interpret out of their usual context. Brugger (1990) criticises the absence of context in the ISO testing procedure.…”

“…(Those who had seen a label containing a symbol gave a higher rating.) Baber and Wankling (1992) used a different task. They investigated the use of symbols for in-car warning displays, and as well as reaction time, they collected data on the judged seriousness of the message.…”

“…This also increases the amount, and range, of information presented to the driver, which leads to the use of dynamic displays showing many types of information in one place (Baber & Wankling, 1992). The driver is mainly guided by vision for driving, and visual information can be lost in the quantity of information displayed to the driver and this can have a negative effect on driving safely since the visual faculties competes with the same perceptual and cognitive resources as the task of driving (Horberry, Anderson, Regan, Triggs, & Brown, 2006).…”

“…The driver is mainly guided by vision for driving, and visual information can be lost in the quantity of information displayed to the driver and this can have a negative effect on driving safely since the visual faculties competes with the same perceptual and cognitive resources as the task of driving (Horberry, Anderson, Regan, Triggs, & Brown, 2006). For a safe traffic environment, drivers must have their attention on the outside of the car rather than on invehicle displays (Baber & Wankling, 1992). Luoma & Rämä (2002) even claim that an invehicle information system should only provide information when it's really needed.…”

“…Automobiles are becoming more and more technologically complex (Baber & Wankling, 1992;Noy, 1997) with more and more built-in driver information systems (Tsimhoni & Green, 2001). This also increases the amount, and range, of information presented to the driver, which leads to the use of dynamic displays showing many types of information in one place (Baber & Wankling, 1992).…”

Summary:This study was designed to investigate effects of different display configuration designs. Nineteen drivers completed a driving simulator study designed to resemble normal driving. Driving performance, glance behaviour, physiological measures, and task completion times was measured for two display configuration designs both during driving only and during driving with a simple secondary task, which consisted of detection, and off-setting of presented warnings. The display configuration design with more centrally placed information, e.g. the HUD and HDD, had less detrimental effects on driving performance and glance behaviour. The physiological measures showed, however, no significant differences between display configuration designs.

This is one of a series of reports produced as part of a contract to develop precise and detailed human factors design guidelines for in-vehicle display icons and other information elements. The contractual effort consists of three phases: analytical, empirical, and integrative. This report is the first product of the analytical phase. It provides a literature review of research associated with in-vehicle icons and symbols, and describes current test and evaluation practices for icons. It also summarizes driver information requirements for in-vehicle messages and the current use of icons and symbols by manufacturers and after-market vendors.
