Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of switch type and layer of display structure on the automobile usability. The effects were also compared between young and older adults. The layer of display structure did not affect the performance as long as the information was kept constant. The task completion time and the tracking error of older adults were about 2 times and 1.6∼1.7 times of young adults, respectively. The subjective rating on visibility and usability of integrated switch was as a whole inferior to that of non-integrated switch. As for young adults, the switch type and its location affected the task completion time. The non-integrated switch arranged on the steering wheel led to the shortest task completion time and the shorter tracking error. It was verified that the integrated switch at its present form did not lead to shorter task completion time and smaller tracking error. Under the dual-task condition, the switch type and its location did not affect both task completion time and tracking error of older adults. This might be inferred that the workload is above the limit of older adults under such a condition.
