Abstract
Despite advancements in In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS) and extensive research on screen layouts, the influence of drivers’ peripheral vision on interactions with evolving multi-screen and large display technologies remains poorly understood. This study examines drivers’ responses to in-vehicle interactive information through peripheral vision, aiming to optimize visual interaction efficiency and enhance driving safety. Analyzing data from 216 participants in a driving simulator, we explored how horizontal eccentricity, screen type, cognitive load, visual crowding, and stimulus type affect perception rates and reaction times. Our findings highlight the significance of these factors and the need for driver-centered design. The results suggest designing IVIS that align with natural visual tendencies to improve interaction efficiency and driving safety.
