Good Vibes Only: A Comparative Study of Seat Vibration Concepts for Redirecting Driver Attention During Visual Distraction

Published: 03 December 2023 Publication History

Abstract

The introduction of automated vehicles forces us to redesign the human-machine interface (HMI) in motor vehicles, and vibrotactile cues have already been proven to be a suitable means to restore driver attention in situations of visual distraction. As vibration can be provided in many different ways, this paper presents the results of a user study aimed at specifying suitable vibration patterns that are accepted by potential users. N = 14 participants performed a visual-motoric task while being presented with six different seat vibration patterns supporting a visual task. The initial results confirmed a reduced reaction time when using vibrotactile cues and showed similar results for lateral versus whole-seat cues. As an implication, lateral concepts are suggested for further studies, as they showed a tendency to be perceived as more pleasant and comfortable and were overall preferred more often compared to whole-seat vibration patterns, which in turn were easier to perceive.
