Effects of Auditory Information for People With Visual Impairments in Highly Automated Vehicles
One-line summary
Therefore, we designed and implemented a visual and auditory communication concept for people with visual impairments seated inside fully automated vehicles.
Engineering notes
Results showed that trust and user experience significantly improved with additional information, with a corresponding, albeit less robust, effect on perceived safety.

Original abstract
Automated vehicles promise to improve accessibility and access to personal mobility for everyone. However, their design and current research trends in visualizing relevant information do not reflect this commitment to accessibility for users with visual impairments. Therefore, we designed and implemented a visual and auditory communication concept for people with visual impairments seated inside fully automated vehicles. Furthermore, in an online video-based study (N=35, 12 with visual impairments), we compared three levels of auditory information communication: low (safety-relevant information only), medium (additionally including vehicle control and route updates), and high (additionally including sightseeing and destination information). Results showed that trust and user experience significantly improved with additional information, with a corresponding, albeit less robust, effect on perceived safety. However, they also revealed that a potential information saturation was reached with medium information. Our work helps to improve the accessibility of automated vehicles by guiding designers towards adequate information communication.
