Abstract
Eco-driving describes a strategy for operating a vehicle in a
fuel-efficient manner. Current research shows that visual ecodriving
interfaces can reduce fuel consumption by shaping
motorists’ driving behavior but may hinder safe driving
performance. The present study aimed to generate insights
and direction for design iterations of auditory eco-driving
displays and a potential matching head-up visual display to
minimize the negative effects of using purely visual headdown
eco-driving displays. Experiment 1 used a sound cardsorting
task to establish mapping, scaling, and polarity of
acoustic parameters for auditory eco-driving interfaces.
Surveys following each sorting task determined preferences
for the auditory display types. Experiment 2 was a sorting
task to investigate design parameters of visual icons that are
to be paired with these auditory displays. Surveys following
each task revealed preferences for the displays. The results
facilitated the design of intuitive interface prototypes for an
auditory and matching head-up eco-driving display that can
be compared to each other.
