“…They show that HaptiMotor increases riders' situational awareness and that users found the mapping to be intuitive. A similar approach for cyclists is illustrated by Steltenpohl and Bouwer with Vibrobelt [33]. The tactile belt is worn around the waist and "gives waypoint, distance and endpoint information using directional tactile cues" [33].…”

“…When looking at bicycle navigation research many studies revolve around making navigation less intrusive, allowing cyclists to focus more on their surroundings as cycling in heavy traffic is not only demanding but also potentially dangerous [11,18,31]. This is often achieved by using auditory [1,12,16,20,36] or tactile [20,25,27,33] cues to convey the navigation instructions. Other modalities include instructions conveyed through light signals inside the helmet [20,34], on an external navigation device [7] or projections in front of the bicycle [5,6].…”

Visual as-the-crow-flies (ATCF) navigation methods are an increasingly popular alternative to existing turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation for cyclists. To better understand how people use them in everyday navigation and how they cope with the novel navigation method in challenging situations, we studied two main issues posed by ATCF navigation: knowing whether one is on the right route to their destination and knowing whether a turn leads into a dead end or detour. To investigate these two problems, we compared visual ATCF navigation against (1) TBT navigation and (2) an improved ATCF+ navigation system in two successive studies. We found that users encountered problems riding in the opposite direction to the destination and were often turning around as a result using the ATCF method. Using colour cues in the ATCF user interface we were able to reinforce correct route choices. Additionally, we found that unsuccessful route progression negatively correlates with user confidence.

“…They found that users were able to process signals communicated through vibration motors on the handlebars with medium accuracy. Huxtable et al [17] proposed moving the vibration motors to a user's wrists, and Steltenpohl et al's Vibrobelt [42] was a device that provided output through vibration on the waist. Using Vibrobelt led to fewer navigation errors than a smartphone mounted on the handlebars.…”

The more people commute by bicycle, the higher is the number of cyclists using their smartphones while cycling and compromising traffic safety. We have designed, implemented and evaluated two prototypes for smartphone control devices that do not require the cyclists to remove their hands from the handlebars-the threebutton device Tribike and the rotation-controlled Brotate. The devices were the result of a user-centred design process where we identified the key features needed for a on-bike smartphone control device. We evaluated the devices in a biking exercise with 19 participants, where users completed a series of common smartphone tasks. The study showed that Brotate allowed for significantly more lateral control of the bicycle and both devices reduced the cognitive load required to use the smartphone. Our work contributes insights into designing interfaces for cycling. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Interactive systems and tools.

“…For this reason, it would be advantageous to have a system that uses tactile feedback to convey navigation instructions to the rider. Tactile instructions have been found to be not only effective in guiding the user to their destination, but they are also less distracting than other modalities [1].…”

Mobile navigation systems are getting more and more common, and with the rise of smartphones, nearly everyone has access to them via mobile phone apps. Despite the widespread use of mobile apps for navigation, only few solutions for bicyclists exist. These solutions however rely on the user to either look at their phone screen or wear headphones. This poses a risk to the user’s safety by taking away attention from the road conditions. Prior studies have suggested that a vibrotactile navigation system can perform similarly to already existing visual and auditory solutions. Such a system also seems to be less distracting than existing ones. This study presents a working prototype than can be used to navigate urban environments on a bicycle.
