Description:
In the context of contemporary vehicle dashboard systems, advanced In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS) often employ touchscreen functionalities, and multi-layered menu structures. However, these solutions have been identified as more distracting for drivers compared to traditional tactile switches and buttons with single, dedicated functions. Our primary focus is on exploring the design capabilities of dynamic vehicle center console interfaces, leading to the inception of the Dynamic Human-Computer Interface System (DHCIS). DHCIS employs a context-aware, adaptive functional framework structure, which, rather than relying on deep menu layers, enhances the safety level in varied traffic situations by simplifying controls to one-touch features. The design concept has been compared with a generic user interface in terms of the handling method, operational steps and layout design.
