Journal Article
Crundall, E., Large, D. R., & Burnett, G. (2016). A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays. Displays, 43, 23-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.displa.2016.05.003

Modern vehicles increasingly utilise a large display within the centre console, often with touchscreen capability, to enable access to a wide range of driving and non-driving-related functionality. The text provided on such displays can vary consider... Read More about A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays.

Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems (2016)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Benford, S., & Oliver, K. (in press). Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems. Behaviour and Information Technology, 35(10), https://doi.org/10.1080/0144929X.2016.1158317

Augmenting navigation systems with landmarks has been posited as a method of improving the effectiveness of the technology and enhancing drivers’ engagement with the environment. However, good navigational landmarks are both laborious to collect and... Read More about Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems.

Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers (2016)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Crundall, E., Burnett, G., Harvey, C., & Konstantopoulous, P. (2016). Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers. Applied Ergonomics, 55, 138-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2016.02.003

Drivers' awareness of the rearward road scene is critical when contemplating or executing lane-change manoeuvres, such as overtaking. Preliminary investigations have speculated on the use of rear-facing cameras to relay images to displays mounted ins...

Applying NHTSA task acceptance criteria to different simulated driving scenarios (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., van Loon, E., Burnett, G., & Pournami, S. (2015, September). Applying NHTSA task acceptance criteria to different simulated driving scenarios. Presented at The 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Nottingham, United Kingdom

Driver distraction is a major contributor to road traffic accidents. Consequently, NHTSA have published detailed guidelines intended to discourage the introduction of excessively distracting electronic devices in vehicles. However, concerns have been...

Predicting the visual demand of finger-touch pointing tasks in a driving context (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Crundall, E., Burnett, G., & Skrypchuk, L. (2015, September). Predicting the visual demand of finger-touch pointing tasks in a driving context. Presented at The 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Nottingham, United Kingdom

Finger-touch based interactions with capacitive touchscreen devices in cars are becoming increasingly common. As such, it is critical to understand the basic human factors of target acquisition (pointing/touching) in this context. We describe a simul...

An investigation of augmented reality presentations of landmark-based navigation using a head-up display (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bolton, A., Burnett, G., & Large, D. R. (2015, September). An investigation of augmented reality presentations of landmark-based navigation using a head-up display. Presented at The 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Nottingham, United Kingdom

Using landmark-based navigation can greatly improve drivers’ route-finding performance. Previous research in this area has tended to focus on the inclusion of text or icon-based landmark information utilising dashboard-mounted displays. In contrast,...

Comparing the NHTSA and ISO occlusion test protocols: how many participants are sufficient? (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pournami, S., Large, D. R., Burnett, G., & Harvey, C. (2015, September). Comparing the NHTSA and ISO occlusion test protocols: how many participants are sufficient?. Presented at The 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications , Nottingham, United Kingdom

Occlusion is a popular technique used to evaluate the visual demand associated with secondary tasks/devices in a driving context offering a low cost, highly accessible alternative to driving simulators and on-road studies. Several standardised occlus... Read More about Comparing the NHTSA and ISO occlusion test protocols: how many participants are sufficient?.

The effect of different navigation voices on trust and attention while using in-vehicle navigation systems (2014)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., & Burnett, G. E. (2014). The effect of different navigation voices on trust and attention while using in-vehicle navigation systems. Journal of Safety Research, 49, 69.e1-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsr.2014.02.009

Introduction
Automobiles are suffused with computers and technology designed to support drivers at all levels of the driving hierarchy. Classic secondary devices, such as in-vehicle navigation systems (IVNS), present strategic and tactical informati...
