“…tall buildings blocking satellite signals (Cui & Ge, 2003 )), are readily jammed by portable consumer technologies (i.e. GPS denial (Coffed, 2014 )), can distract attention away from other tasks (Lee et al, 2014 ), and severely limit memory for newly experienced environments (Bakdash, Linkenauger, & Proffitt, 2008 ; Chrastil & Warren, 2013 ; Gardony et al, 2015 ; Gardony, Brunyé, Mahoney, & Taylor, 2013 ). These limitations have encouraged research and development toward identifying novel methods for guiding pedestrian navigation through complex environments.…”

Spatial decision dynamics during wayfinding: intersections prompt the decision-making process

Intersections are critical decision points for wayfinders, but it is unknown how decision dynamics unfold during pedestrian wayfinding. Some research implies that pedestrians leverage available visual cues to actively compare options while in an intersection, whereas other research suggests that people strive to make decisions long before overt responses are required. Two experiments examined these possibilities while participants navigated virtual desktop environments, assessing information-seeking behavior (Experiment 1) and movement dynamics (Experiment 2) while approaching intersections. In Experiment 1, we found that participants requested navigation guidance while in path segments approaching an intersection and the guidance facilitated choice behavior. In Experiment 2, we found that participants tended to orient themselves toward an upcoming turn direction before entering an intersection, particularly as they became more familiar with the environment. Some of these patterns were modulated by individual differences in spatial ability, sense of direction, spatial strategies, and gender. Together, we provide novel evidence that deciding whether to continue straight or turn involves a dynamic, distributed decision-making process that is prompted by upcoming intersections and modulated by individual differences and environmental experience. We discuss implications of these results for spatial decision-making theory and the development of innovative adaptive, beacon-based navigation guidance systems.

“…11,12 However, previous studies failed to reach a consensus on the effects of audio output when attached to the visual output. 11,25,26 In this study, combined and visual output modality placed comparable effects, which significantly differed from those imposed by audio output modality, on drivers' longitudinal control (MinHWT in car-following task and speed in lanechanging task with manual input modality) and hazard detection (BrakeRT in hazard event and MinHWT in the hazard event with manual input modality). These results suggest that under the combined output modality, visual distraction dominates the effects on longitudinal control and hazard detection decrements; while the role played by the auditory distraction is approximately negligible.…”

Driver distraction has become a major threat to the road safety, and the globally booming taxi-hailing application introduces new source of distraction to drivers. Although various in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) have been studied extensively, no documentation exists objectively measuring the extent to which interacting with taxi-hailing application during driving impacts drivers' behavior. To fill this gap, a simulatorbased study was conducted to synthetically compare the effects that different output modalities (visual, audio, combined visualaudio) and input modalities (baseline, manual, speech) imposed on the driving performance. The results show that the visual output introduced more negative effects on driving performance compared to audio output. In the combined output, visual component dominated the effects imposed on the longitudinal control and hazard detection; audio component only exacerbated the negative effects of visual component on the lateral control. Speech input modality was overall less detrimental to driving performance than manual input modality, especially reflected in the drivers' quicker reaction to hazard events. The visual-manual interaction modality most severely impaired the hazard detecting ability, while also led to strong compensative behaviors. The audio-speech and visual-speech modality associated with more smooth lateral control and faster response to hazard events respectively compared to other modality. These results could be applied to improve the design of not only the taxi-hailing application, but also other input-output balanced IVIS.X.

“…The interview questions were based on the verbal version of the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking [12] and the structure of the interview was designed to prompt a creative dialogue based on the principles of effective interviewing [15]. The subject selected for the creative conversation was the In-Vehicle Navigation System (IVNS) due to it being one of the main sources of distraction inside cars and, hence, a target for possible future improvements [16].…”

An investigation was performed of the characteristics of real-time, virtually present, contextual inquiry between automobile drivers and automotive designers. 28 participants were remotely interviewed while they were in one of two contexts: either sitting in a bare isolated meeting room or when operating a driving simulator. Open questions of the type involved in concept design were used as the basis of the real time interview. The interview transcripts were analysed by means of discourse analysis, thematic analysis and evaluations of degree of creativity. The results revealed that the real time automotive interview context provided richer information in terms of the quantity of the words expressed, the variety of the words expressed, and in terms of the judged degree of creativity of the statements.
