Zusammenfassung
The increased amount of In-Vehicle Information & Communication
Systems (IVIS) leads to an increased amount of messages that have to be relayed
to the driver. In this paper we present an experiment with vibrotactile interaction in
a driving simulator that transfers information through the driver’s seat. The first
system we tested was a route guidance system (turn left or right at the next
crossing, through vibration pulses left or right). The second system gave speed
adaptation cues that urged the driver to slow down when speeding. The results
indicate reduced workload compared to typical auditory and visual cues. Users
responded slightly more positive towards the vibrotactile cues compared to
auditory cues when they were given the choice. The main advantage was
mentioned to be the unobtrusiveness compared to auditory and visual cues.
