Abstract

Haptic-enabled rotary control knobs are increasingly being integrated within vehicles to manage vehicular instrumentation. By doing so, driver safety and performance is increased as a result of the distraction reductions associated with such a system. The integration of window adjustment within such a vehicular instrumentation management system is examined through human factors studies for the purpose of reducing driver distraction. Additional focus is placed on examining the ability of haptic feedback alone to eliminate reliance on visual feedback when adjusting window height. Results indicate that eliminating such reliance is possible by means of a rotary control knob providing varying intermediate haptic feedback as the window is adjusted.
