Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Automotive Safety
  • Environmental Engineering

Background:

  • In-vehicle eco-driving support systems aim to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
  • Visual interfaces in these systems may pose a distraction risk to drivers.
  • Understanding driver visual behavior is crucial for optimizing system design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the visual behavior of drivers interacting with an in-vehicle eco-driving support system.
  • To assess the impact of the system's visual interface on driver distraction.
  • To identify potential areas for improvement in eco-driving system design.

Main Methods:

  • A real-world, on-road driving study involving ten participants.
  • A 96 km route comprising rural, urban, and motorway sections.
  • Data collection on driver visual behavior, including glance duration and frequency, during baseline and treatment drives.

Main Results:

  • Drivers spent 5-8% of their time looking at the eco-driving system, with glance durations comparable to speedometer glances.
  • Slight increases in glances away from the windscreen were observed during system use.
  • Pop-up information was sometimes disregarded, with feedback pop-ups being ignored more frequently than advice pop-ups.

Conclusions:

  • The investigated eco-driving support system is unlikely to cause significant negative impacts on driver glance behavior.
  • Integrating eco-driving information with the speedometer could enhance usability.
  • Improving the presentation and timing of pop-up alerts is recommended for better driver engagement and self-regulation.
