- This paper presents a cross-regional study thatexamined the difference on drivers’ preference and behaviors when driving with driver advisory systems between Swedish and Chinese drivers. A drive simulator study was conducted in both countries. Two interfaces were proposed: Design 1 presents directional information; Design 2 combines directional and road user icons. The results showed Swedish drivers perceived a higher acceptance score of the systems than Chinese drivers. Swedish and Chinese drivers expressed different information needs on different regions around the car. When driving with design 2, Swedish and Chinese reduced the number of collisions by 13% and 18% respectively, compared with driving without any system. The brake-to-minimum TTC proved that Swedish and Chinese drivers utilized the systems differently. These findings indicate drivers' preferences and strategies towards advisory systems are highly culturally mediated, and adaptive design for different drivers is highly recommended.

- Surface transportation system is developing very fast in China and the number of vehicles is increasing quickly as well. This development creates a lot of problems on traffic safety and the number of accident is also increasing. In this paper, we made deep analysis of different possible causes of safety problems through three aspects: the traffic environment and infrastructure, in-vehicle information system design and the characteristics of drivers. There are many factors in each aspects may contribute to the transportation safety problems. Problems with infrastructure design and traffic design contribute over 50% of the traffic accident. Another important factor is that people has very little traffic safety concept and very weak on understanding the important of right behavior on the road. This paper has pointed the urgent needs to study the human factors in road and transportation system and vehicle HMI design, as there are very few such studies available in literature based on Chinese situation. The paper also proposed the needs to develop proactive educational system that can promote driver's understanding of traffic safety and to take the right action during drive.

Letting Drivers Know What is Going on in Traffic
- 2013

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- There are many different Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) that have been developed and are currently under development. Some of them are already on the market. These systems can be categorized into information/warning, active assistance/semi-automation, and full/high automation. The bottleneck of ADAS technology's application in vehicles is the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design. In the present situation, the information from ADAS is normally presented by warning signals to the driver on potentially hazardous situations in traffic. In general, a warning signal is regarded as an unpleasant stimulation. If we take the time perspective from a normal drive to crash into consideration, we can divide the drive into three phases: normal drive in comfort zone, pre-crash in safety zone, and automation when the driver loses control. Warning design has many negative issues, such as the time issue, the modality issue, information transparency, and the false alarm issue. The idealistic way to assist drivers is to enhance their traffic situation awareness so they can always keep their driving in a comfort zone, and to support them with the right information, so that they can predict upcoming events in traffic, prepare for unpredictable occurrences, and take appropriate action if necessary. From warning design to letting the driver know what is going on in traffic, the HMI design needs to meet dynamic requirements for drivers in different traffic situations. These challenges are very different from warning designs. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A cross-regional study of driving behaviour and technological preferences in typical driving scenarios, especially dangerous pre-crash scenarios, is presented as a contribution to the user experience design of in-vehicle driver assistance functions. Data from 46 participants are collected by one-to-one interviews following viewing of 11 video clips previously obtained from NFOT (Naturalistic Field Operational Tests) and representative of typical real driving scenarios. Six questions relating to each driving scenario are asked to reveal the differences between Chinese drivers and Swedish drivers. The results show similarities and differences in driving risk perceptions, decisions, and preferences concerning the assistance and specifics of potential ADAS functions of drivers in China and Sweden. The preferences for assistance and ADAS functions are found to be correlated with relative driving risk perceptions and decisions in typical driving scenarios for both country groups. Based on the results, some suggestions for the design of driver-vehicle interactions for Chinese drivers are presented.

- Understanding complex behavior patterns in response to triggered forward collision warning system benefits localized user experience design, especially in safety critical scenarios from a cross-regional perspective. This paper studies driver response behavior patterns towards two alarm timings, in car-following scenarios with different traffic density. Data from 32 participants in China and 30 participants in Sweden were collected using a driving simulator. Differences were observedbetween China group and Sweden group regarding responsebehavior patterns, system acceptance and effectiveness. Seen from obtained results, Chinese drivers were found to steer more frequently than Swedish drivers in response to triggered alarm no matter what alarm timing or traffic density there were. Chinese drivers preferred later alarm timing than Swedish drivers. To better design regional-adaptive human machine interaction of forward collision warning system; some suggestions were produced based on obtained results.

- Data-driven design is believed to be empowered by machine learning (ML) with advanced pattern classification and prediction. However, research on how ML can be used to support automotive human-machine interface (HMI) design is lacking. We presented a case study of truck HMI design to understand the current data use and expectations of ML in the design process. Findings show decentralized data practices, the role of expertise in decision-making, and the envisioned reactive use of ML, where we underscore the implications for advancing human-ML collaboration in designing future truck HMI systems. © 2024 Proceedings of the Design Society.

Designing Future Advisory Traffic Information Systems - A Step towards Cross-Regional Adaptive Design for Improving Driving Safety and Comfort
- 2015

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving capabilities have become increasingly widespread, and implementations already exist in cars today. Given these dramatic technological changes, human-machine interaction design is facing new challenges. One of the major challenges is the communication with the driver, as there is often a disparity between how the system behaves and the driver’s expectations. Another difficulty is that drivers may over-rely on the automation systems, and this reduces situation awareness, which in turn creates problems in reclaiming control when necessary. Furthermore, ADAS developments are traditionally based on drivers’ requirements from mature markets, such as Europe, the US and Japan. But how would ADAS perform in China, where there is dense and mixed traffic?The aim of this thesis is to gain better insights into cross-regional adaptive design on advisory traffic information systems. The purpose of advisory systems is to provide foresight traffic information to support the driver’s situation awareness. To fulfill the aim, the studies have departed from a user-centered design approach in order to understand what drivers really want. In addition, different traffic scenarios were integrated into the design procedure to identify the contextual design constraints. Two design requirements studies and two driving simulator studies have been carried out with both Swedish and Chinese drivers.The information requirement studies in this thesis showed that the similarities between Swedish and Chinese participants are greater than the differences. For example, they have similar design preferences and information requirements when interacting with a single road user. However, interesting differences were found when multiple road users were involved in the situation, e.g., when entering ramps, cutting in or changing lanes. The driving performance results indicated that advisory traffic information systems assisted Swedish and Chinese participants in different ways due to the different regional driving strategies and habits. Moreover, acceptance results also emphasized that an interface design entirely carried out in one region will likely result in lower user acceptance in another region. To conclude, cross-regional adaptive designs should focus on specific situations where the regional difference occurs, making it a feasible approach to a successful global design.

- With the rapid motorization in countries such as China, the large number of vehicles has caused a dramatic increase of accidents. Thus, the needs for active safety systems are urgent; the system designs must fulfill drivers' needs and local situations. Many studies have indicated that auditory design has great potentials for presenting traffic information to the drivers. In this study, the aim is to understand Chinese drivers' attitudes toward 3D Auditory Traffic Information System, and to explore Chinese drivers' requirements for traffic information support. In the experiment, 23 car drivers were invited to focus group discussions. The results illustrated that the majority (19 out of 23) of participants are interested in 3D auditory design concept and have strong preferences towards using meaningful sounds as the basis for auditory icons. Results also showed differences between experienced and novice drivers regarding how to prioritize traffic information under different traffic conditions. The findings have implications for future design of 3D auditory traffic information system development. Copyright © 2012 ACM.

How drivers respond to visual vs. auditory information in advisory traffic information systems
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To date, many efforts have been made to explore how to support driver's decision-making process with advisory information. Previous studies mainly focus on a single modality, e.g. the visual, auditory or haptic modality. In contrast, this study compares data from two simulator studies with 50 participants in total, where the visual vs. the auditory modality was used to present the same type of advisory traffic information under the same driving scenarios. Hereby we compare the effect of these two modalities on drivers' responses and driving performance. Our findings indicate that modality influences the drivers' behaviour patterns significantly. Visual information helps drivers to drive more accurately and efficiently, whereas auditory information supports quicker responses. This suggests that there are potential benefits in applying both modalities in tandem, as they complement each other. Correspondingly, we present several design recommendations on Advisory Traffic Information Systems.

- Many advanced driving assistance systems have been developed based on the western automobile markets. However, it is widely known that the differences between Western and Asian markets are large in terms of traffic safety culture, traffic situation, and driver behavior. This study aimed to explore the differences between Swedish and Chinese drivers' information requirements in regards to a 3D Auditory Advisory Traffic Information System design (3DAATIS). A total of 46 participants took part in the study. The results showed that both Swedish and Chinese drivers appreciated the concept of a 3DAATIS. Moreover the two groups expressed similar information needs when interacting with a single road user, e.g. giving higher priority to vulnerable road users. In contrast, they expressed different information requirements in complex traffic scenarios. The results further imply that identifying drivers' requirements under different traffic scenarios can be a feasible approach to successful cross-regional adaption design.
