Abstract

The increasing amount of in-vehicle information systems has led to handling multiple tasks simultaneously. This increases mental workload and consequently causes interruptions and distraction from driving. In this paper, we propose applying peripheral light cues to support in-vehicle task resumption. We ran a driving simulator study in which we tested the effect of peripheral light cues on task resumption. Results showed that, during the presence of cues, users required less time to resume the interrupted task and made fewer errors at resumption. Moreover, participants found the cues to be helpful for retrieval of their deferred intentions, and eased resumption.
