TLDR
A project is presented to explore alternative interfaces using touch-based interaction, resulting in a working prototype, tested on 25 people, which demonstrates how the focus on touch interaction and the change of position and interface controls, without the use of any expensive or advanced technology, can significantly alter the drivers' operation of the in-car audio system.Abstract:
Current in-car audio systems are part of a demanding driver-vehicle interaction that is responsible for a high number of traffic accidents. This paper addresses this issue and describes some common problems regarding current in-car audio systems. A project is presented which was initiated to explore alternative interfaces using touch-based interaction, resulting in a working prototype, tested on 25 people. The prototype demonstrates how the focus on touch interaction and the change of position and interface controls, without the use of any expensive or advanced technology, can significantly alter the drivers' operation of the in-car audio system. The results are encouraging.read more

Knobology Revisited: A Comparison of User Performance between Tangible and Virtual Rotary Knobs
TL;DR: It is found that tangible knobs retains performance even if they are not in the locus of attention of the users, and four recommendations of suit- able choosing knobs are provided based on tasks and design constraints.

Design and evaluation of a personalisable user interface in a vehicle context
TL;DR: This study uses experience prototyping to explore what happens if the idea of personalisable interfaces is brought into the automobile context, an area where the user interface traditionally has been rather rigid.

International incidents [crashes induced by driver information systems]
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that future in-vehicle information systems may overload drivers, compromising driving safety and product usability, and suggest that developers should comply with design guidelines (JAMA, SAE J2364), work more closely with human factors experts, expand usability testing, and implement workload managers.

The psychology of everyday things
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure our which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door.
The role of driver distraction in traffic crashes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the major sources of distraction to drivers and the relative importance of the distractions as potential causes of crashes and discuss the results of Phase I of the project.

Effects of verbal and spatial-imagery tasks on eye fixations while driving.
Miguel A. Recarte,Luís Nunes +1 more
TL;DR: The consequences of performing verbal and spatial-imagery tasks on visual search when driving were studied in this paper, where participants drove 84 km on 2 highways and 2 roads, on each route, they performed 2 verbal tasks and 2 spatial imagery tasks while their eye movements were recorded.
