To Beep or Not to Beep - Comparing Abstract versus Language-Based Multimodal Driver Displays

This course compares abstract versus language-based multimodal driver displays to determine their effectiveness in conveying warnings to drivers. The learning outcomes include understanding the differences between these two types of displays and knowing when to use abstract visual feedback versus audio alerts based on the driving situation. The course teaches skills in analyzing warning recognition times, response times, and driving behavior based on different modalities. The teaching method involves presenting research findings from experiments comparing various warning types. The intended audience for this course includes researchers, designers, and developers working on driver assistance systems or human-computer interaction in the automotive industry.
