Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Automotive Safety
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • In-vehicle infotainment systems can cause driver distraction, increasing the risk of missed road information.
  • Driver distraction is a significant factor in road accidents, necessitating safer interface designs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel multi-touch interface for in-vehicle systems, assessing its impact on driver distraction and hazard perception.
  • To compare the novel interface against a control interface regarding driver performance and mental workload.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-two participants drove a simulated route, interacting with either the novel multi-touch or a control interface.
  • Eye-gaze data were collected to analyze hazard detection, identification time, and secondary task engagement.
  • Subjective workload was measured using the NASA R-TLX questionnaire after each driving session.

Main Results:

  • Participants using the multi-touch interface completed secondary tasks faster and identified hazards more quickly.
  • Hazard detection probability was comparable between the multi-touch and control interfaces.
  • Subjective workload ratings were lower for the multi-touch interface condition.

Conclusions:

  • The novel multi-touch interface improves driver performance by enabling quicker hazard identification.
  • This interface has positive implications for road safety by potentially reducing driver distraction.
  • Further discussion on the road safety and driver distraction implications of this technology is warranted.
