“…The results in this study did show some differences between the two display configurations, which are in line with earlier research, namely that the display configuration with more centralized information resulted in better driving-and task performance than the spread out display configuration (Horrey, Wickens, & Consalus, 2005;Wittman et al, 2006). According to Tsimhoni and Green (2001), the addition of a secondary task while driving significantly impairs driving performance, which could not be confirmed in this study.…”

“…Having attention on something other than driving, a secondary task, increases the in-vehicle glance durations and is associated with decreased driving performance and increased crash risk (Horrey & Wickens, 2007;Tsimhoni & Green, 2001). Horrey, Wickens, & Consalus (2005) and Wittman et al (2006) declare that if information is acquired from a display located close to the road view, the driving performance is less degraded than for a distant display. Using a Head-Up Display (HUD) can also result in reduced workload, decreased response times, and increased driving comfort (Liu & Wen 2004).…”

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.

“…In principle, any of the (three) available sensory modalities could be used for delivering information, for example on CO2 efficiency, to the driver. Supplementary to the information on visual displays provided above, it has to be taken into account that with the emergence of head-up displays (HUD) a viable alternative for information delivery was created [39], [4]. It is evidenced that information presentation via a head-up display results in reduced workload and decreased response times [23].…”

A general reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is an important topic currently discussed by both society and government -lower allowed emission values would strongly affect automotive manufacturers as road transport produces, for example, about one fifth of the CO2 emissions in the European Union. But that's not all, also the individual driver could be affected from regulatory mechanisms as it is feasible, not least due to the broad availability of wireless and information technology in cars, to demand the assembly of a "personal carbon dioxide profile" including all the emissions accumulating from operating vehicles, traveling by plane, and even from using public transport, and in succession to charge a person based on its effective CO2 consumption. One problem arising in this field is that an individual usually is not aware about his/her CO2 consumption, neither about which means of transportation produces what amount of carbon dioxide (what is the personal fraction of CO2 for a large plane with 250 passengers traveling 5, 000km?), nor how exactly to drive a vehicle economic or wasting with respect to CO2 emission or what the difference between these two extreme values (in terms of cost) is. To counteract the issue of driving economy, which is the only the driver can directly control, we propose a inattentive operating vibrotactile notification system integrated into the car (safety belt or seating), helping the driver in his/her (i) subjective CO2 valuation and (ii) reduction of CO2 emissions while driving.Results from real driving experiments have shown that drivers tend to drive more economic with regard to carbon dioxide emission when perceiving tactile feedback about their current driving efficiency compared to baseline tests without technology assistance.

“…The visual device used to display maps was fixed in the central portion of the windshield and directed at the face of the driver at an angle of approximately 25 degrees between the center of the monitor and the road center. That location and angle were selected as it allow drivers to carry out a visual search moving eyes horizontally without turning the head (Wittmann et al 2006;Burnett et al 2013a). A tablet (Asus ME371MG model), seven-inch screen, video resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, was used to display the maps.…”

Driver Preference Concerning in-Car Route Guidance and Navigation System Maps for Drivers With Color Vision Deficiency

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In-car Route Guidance and Navigation Systems (RGNS) are used to help drivers navigate. These maps have mainly been designed to accommodate drivers with normal color vision. However, the color perception of people with normal color vision differs from that of people with color vision deficiency. When navigating, understanding certain kinds of information presented by RGNS maps can be a more complex task for colorblind drivers and traffic safety may be impacted negatively. An important aspect related to the graphic design of RGNS maps is the use of a good combination of colors to improve map legibility. Cartographic representations with good legibility aid drivers in comprehending information and making appropriate decisions during driving tasks. This paper evaluates driver preference for RGNS maps designed for drivers with color vision deficiency. A total of 14 subjects participated in an experiment performed in a parked car. Maps were designed to accommodate red-blinds and green-blinds by using a color simulator and principles of perceptual grouping and figure-ground segregation. Based on the results, we conclude that the map grouping symbols representing car and direction arrows in blue segregated from the route in black was more acceptable to drivers compared to other combinations. It is recommended that RGNS should offer a specific graphic design to support drivers with color vision deficiency in navigating.
