Novel In-Vehicle Gesture Interactions: Design and Evaluation of Auditory Displays and Menu Generation Interfaces
… to mitigate for driver distraction, and using auditory displays showed a decrease in off-road glances and an improved perceived workload. However, the design of auditory displays was not fully investigated. This thesis presents directional research in the design of auditory displays for …

Auditory Displays and Assistive Technologies: the use of head movements by visually impaired individuals and their implementation in binaural interfaces
… technologies thanks to the advent of binaural auditory virtual reality. It is known that head movements in the presence of sound elicit changes in the acoustical signals which arrive at each ear, and these changes can improve common auditory localisation problems in headphone-based auditory …

Topological Analysis Using Morse Theory and Auditory Display
… the use of wave traversal for creating an auditory display of a simplicial complex. This has application particularly when the complex is large or higher-dimensional, but audio has been shown to reinforce visual display in all cases. The auditory display is intended to convey information …

A Simulator-Based Investigation of Visual, Auditory, and Mixed-Modality Display of Vehicle Dynamic State Information to Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators
… study examined the use of conventional auditory warnings (tonal, non-verbal sounds) and auditory icons> (representational non-verbal sounds), alone and in combination with a dash-mounted visual display, to present information about impending collision situations to commercial motor …

Inferring social structure and dominance relationships between rhesus macaques using RFID tracking data
… and are characterized by a variety of visual and auditory displays and gestures. Social structure in a group is an important indicator of its members’ relative level of access to resources and has interesting implications for an individual’s health. Automatic inference of the social structure in …

The human factors aspects of alarms in human supervisory control tasks.
… Under consideration were speech-based alarm displays and visual alarm displays. Non-speech auditory displays were the subject of a literature review. The findings suggest that care needs to be taken when selecting the alarm media. Ideally it should be chosen to support the task requirements …

Assessing Alternate Approaches for Conveying Automated Vehicle Intentions
… HMI systems, with a focus on visual and auditory displays, and implemented them into a HAV developed at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI). Volunteer participants were invited to the Smart Roads at VTTI to experience these systems in real-world driving scenarios, especially …

Problems With Auditory Alarms in Anesthesia and Tests of a Proposed Solution: Multimodal Multitask Performance With an Auditory Display
Auditory alarms are used pervasively for patient-monitoring equipment to warn of potential problems, despite widely reported shortcomings in their design. Problems include high rates of false alarms; interruptive, uninformative, stress-inducing acoustic profiles for alarm sounds; and alarms that …

Multi-Method Approach to Understand Pilot Performance in a Sociotechnical Aviation System
… such as weather information systems, head-up displays, synthetic vision, three-dimensional auditory displays, increased automation, and communications filters. Potential future applications of this research are also explored.

Modeling Slow Lead Vehicle Lane Changing
… are to use forward view or mirror-based visual displays to indicate presence detection, and auditory displays for imminent warnings. The "vehicle + signal" logistic regression model is best overall since it takes advantage of the distance to the front and rear adjacent vehicle, forward …

An Investigation of Auditory Icons and Brake Response Times in a Commercial Truck-Cab Environment
… to the potential overload of the visual channel. Auditory icons have been shown to improve operator performance and decrease learning and response times, not only in industrial applications, but also as emergency braking warnings. The use of auditory icons in commercial truck cabs has the …

The Effect of Directional Auditory Cues on Driver Performance in a Simulated Truck Cab Environment
… the potential benefits of using directional auditory cues in intelligent transportation system technologies in commercial vehicles. Twelve licensed commercial vehicle operators drove a commercial truck-driving simulator and were prompted to select highway numbers on a side-task display. …

A Systematic Investigation into Induction and Mitigation Methods of Motion Sickness in Passengers of Automated Vehicles
… shifted to mitigating motion sickness. A novel auditory display was developed based on existing literature to reduce motion sickness. Findings from the second and third studies confirmed that strong lateral accelerations could indeed induce motion sickness, and engagement in a cognitively …
