100. A Survey on Perceptions of Smartwatch Haptic Feedback for Enhancing Automated Vehicle Takeover Decisions
DescriptionThe imperfections in the driving automation system have challenged older adults because the takeover process is cognitively and physically demanding. Due to the wrist being more vibration-sensitive, the haptic display on the smartwatch could be a good option to warn the driver. However, the preference between dynamic patterns (vibrating sequences at different locations on the smartwatch) and static patterns (vibrating at certain locations on the smartwatch) is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the effects of signal patterns in two different scenarios of criticality between younger (mean age = 32.75) and older adults (mean age = 69.77) using a national survey. Three hundred forty respondents’ data were collected. The results showed that static patterns received higher usefulness and satisfaction scores than dynamic patterns. However, no age differences were found. These findings provide a potential guide for the next-generation takeover warning system on wrist-wearable devices in the automated system.
