Press Release: Vibrating Steering Wheel Guides Drivers While Keeping Their Eyes on the Road (Carnegie Mellon )
**Contact:** Byron Spice / 412-268-9068 / bspice@cs.cmu.edu
PITTSBURGH-A vibrating steering wheel is an effective way to keep a driver's
eyes safely on the road by providing an additional means to convey directions
from a car's navigation system, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and
AT&T Labs have shown.
The study, one of the first to evaluate combinations of audio, visual and
haptic feedback for route guidance, found that younger drivers in particular
were less distracted by a navigation system's display screen when they
received haptic feedback from the vibrating steering wheel.
For elder drivers, the haptic feedback reinforced the auditory cues they
normally prefer.
Though the haptic steering wheel generally improved driver performance and
safety, the study findings suggest that simply giving the driver additional
sensory inputs isn't always optimal. That's particularly the case for older
drivers because the additional sensory feedback can strain the brain's
capacity to process it.
"Our findings suggest that, as navigation systems become more elaborate, it
would be best to personalize the sensory feedback system based, at least in
part, on the driver's age," said SeungJun Kim, systems scientist in Carnegie
Mellon's Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII).
The findings will be presented June 21 at the International ...
