Design Research on Vibration Tactile Feedback in Vehicle Navigation Information Application

Vehicles become the preferred means of transportation for people to travel, and the problems of intensified traffic congestion, frequent traffic accidents, and deterioration of the transportation environment have resulted. Therefore, the demand for in-vehicle navigation is more urgent, and the feedback of navigation information has also become an important influencing factor. The current research methods of information feedback are mainly visual and voice feedback that has advantages, but they also have significant shortcomings in terms of safety and experience. This research analyzes the situation through questionnaires and interviews. The method determines the body parts of the vibrotactile feedback and the driving problems and use scenarios that can be solved using the vibrotactile feedback. Based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis results, this study obtained the design opportunities of the vibrotactile feedback and built a prototype using the Arduino platform. According to the following verification tests, the test results show that the experiment has good usability, which can provide guidance and suggestions for future research.
