Identifying modeling forms of instrument panel system in intelligent shared cars: a study for perceptual preference and in-vehicle behaviors

A sustainable human-machine interface design has been highlighted for shared cars which is environmentally friendly. To improve people’s perceptual, psychological, and behavioral experience in shared cars, this study revealed the relationship between modeling forms of the instrument panel and interaction performance. Modeling forms include the panel layout and the central screen installation type. After classifying existing panel layout designs into four kinds, this study relied on System Usability Scale ( n  = 182) to score them and clarify the usability of each kind. The one with the best usability (the symmetrical driver-oriented layout) was identified and ANOVA was used to judge the significance of the difference. Then, three central screen installation types were analyzed and sorted by means of analytic hierarchy process. Based on the above analysis for perceptual preference, behavioral experiments were carried out ( n  = 60) in intelligent vehicles equipped with the two advantageous screens (all-in-one type and semi-detached type) to analyze electrocardiograph data and workload of typical interaction behaviors. The logit model showed that when interacting with the SD-AIO panel (the panel of symmetrical driver-oriented layout with an all-in-one type screen), tension level was often lower in both driving and secondary tasks. Besides, we explored how the heart rate of specific tasks influenced the total completion time. The conclusion confirmed the advantages of SD-AIO panel, which could contribute to a sustainable interaction with high traffic efficiency.
