“…The way drivers interact with their vehicles is changing (Damiani, Deregibus, & Andreone, 2009;Ulrich et al, 2013). Modern vehicles are more and more equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that can assist the driver, as well as in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) that provide the driver with traffic information or driving advice.…”

Persuasive in-vehicle systems aim to intuitively influence the attitudes and/or behaviour of a driver (i.e. without forcing them). However, the challenge in using these systems in a driving setting, is to maximise the persuasive effect without infringing upon the driver's safety. This paper proposes a conceptual model for driver persuasion at the tactical level (i.e., driver manoeuvring level, such as lane-changing and car-following). The main focus of the conceptual model is to describe how to safely persuade a driver to change his or her behaviour, and how persuasive systems may affect driver behaviour. First, existing conceptual and theoretical models that describe behaviour are discussed, along with their applicability to the driving task. Next, we investigate the persuasive methods used with a focus on the traffic domain. Based on this we develop a conceptual model that incorporates behavioural theories and persuasive methods, and which describes how effective and safe driver persuasion functions. Finally, we apply the model to a case study of a lane-specific advice system that aims to reduce travel time delay and traffic congestion by advising some drivers to change lanes in order to achieve a better distribution of traffic over the motorway lanes.

“…It is encouraging that more and more studies are being done to apply human factors principles to gesture interface, and to seek ways of optimizing contact-based gesture control [13]. However, a set of practical guidelines for in-vehicle gesture interaction design is still far from complete.…”

Gesture provides a new design space for in-vehicle human-machine interaction. It could potentially mitigate emerging conflicts between the increasing functionality of today's vehicles and the very limited space that is available for implementing these functions within the driver's reach. However, because gesture requires manual input, it may cause unintended consequences for drivers rather than supporting concurrent driving tasks as it is meant to do. This workshop will explore the potential of in-vehicle gesture interaction, as well as the cautions that must be exercised during its implementation. Participants will contribute to the discussion of design guidelines for gesture interaction; discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of gesture interaction based on properties of secondary tasks; will propose promising uses of gesture for in-vehicle interaction; and will advise systematic approaches for guiding the development of gesture interactions that will minimize the impact to or even facilitate primary driving tasks. The discussion within this workshop will also consider the different phases of automation as a design factor and discuss how to adapt gesture interactions to the changing demands in manual driving control.

“…The WheelSense system used an ergonomic analysis of hand positions on the steering wheel to evaluate four different wheel grip gestures: two forms of rotation, dragging, and squeezing (Angelini et al, 2013). Several research groups (González, Wobbrock, Chau, Faulring, & Myers, 2007;Döring et al, 2011;Ulrich et al, 2013) have used different variations of thumb-based gestures on a touch-sensitive surface on the steering wheel with small sets of gestures (4 to 19) to allow gesture interactions while holding the steering wheel with both hands. All on-wheel gesture interactions rely on a small number of distinguishable thumb or nger gestures as their main interaction technique.…”

User interface for in-vehicle systems with on-wheel finger spreading gestures and head-up displays

Interacting with an in-vehicle system through a central console is known to induce visual and biomechanical distractions, thereby delaying the danger recognition and response times of the driver and significantly increasing the risk of an accident. To address this problem, various hand gestures have been developed. Although such gestures can reduce visual demand, they are limited in number, lack passive feedback, and can be vague and imprecise, difficult to understand and remember, and culture-bound. To overcome these limitations, we developed a novel on-wheel finger spreading gestural interface combined with a head-up display (HUD) allowing the user to choose a menu displayed in the HUD with a gesture. This interface displays audio and air conditioning functions on the central console of a HUD and enables their control using a specific number of fingers while keeping both hands on the steering wheel. We compared the effectiveness of the newly proposed hybrid interface against a traditional tactile interface for a central console using objective measurements and subjective evaluations regarding both the vehicle and driver behaviour. A total of 32 subjects were recruited to conduct experiments on a driving simulator equipped with the proposed interface under various scenarios. The results showed that the proposed interface was approximately 20% faster in emergency response than the traditional interface, whereas its performance in maintaining vehicle speed and lane was not significantly different from that of the traditional one.
