Abstract

Taking a motor planning perspective, this study investigates whether haptic force cues displayed on the steering wheel are more effective than visual cues in signaling the direction of an upcoming lane change. Licensed drivers drove in a fixed-base driving simulator equipped with an active steering system for realistic force feedback. They were instructed to make lane changes upon registering a directional cue. Cues were delivered according to the movement precuing technique employing a pair of precues and imperative cues which could be either visual, haptic, or crossmodal (a visual precue with a haptic imperative cue, and vice versa). The main dependent variable was response time. Additional analyses were conducted on steering wheel angle profiles and the rate of initial steering errors. Conditions with a haptic imperative cue produced considerably faster responses than conditions with a visual imperative cue, irrespective of the precue modality. Valid and invalid precues produced the typical gains and costs, with one exception. There appeared to be little cost in response time or initial steering errors associated with invalid cueing when both cues were haptic. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that imperative haptic cues facilitate action selection while visual stimuli require additional time-consuming cognitive processing.

Teasdale et al. (1993) proposed a more sophisticated method for determining the movement onset time. A two-stage algorithm first determines the sample at which the time series first exceeds 10% of its maximum value. Then, working back it looks for the first sample at which speed reaches 10% of the speed of the first point. The final step locates the onset as this second point minus the standard deviation of the time between the first and second points. In our case, however, this method could not distinguish between the early parts of the peak that were due to the participant’s movement and those that were due to the haptic cue.
