Ecological IVIS design: Using EID to develop a novel in-vehicle information system
Ecological IVIS design: Using EID to develop a novel in-vehicle information system
New in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) are emerging which purport to encourage more environment friendly or 'green' driving. Meanwhile, wider concerns about road safety and in-car distractions remain. The 'Foot-LITE' project is an effort to balance these issues, aimed at achieving safer and greener driving through real-time driving information, presented via an in-vehicle interface which facilitates the desired behaviours while avoiding negative consequences. One way of achieving this is to use ecological interface design (EID) techniques. This article presents part of the formative human-centred design process for developing the in-car display through a series of rapid prototyping studies comparing EID against conventional interface design principles. We focus primarily on the visual display, although some development of an ecological auditory display is also presented. The results of feedback from potential users as well as subject matter experts are discussed with respect to implications for future interface design in this field.

Abstract
New in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) are emerging which purport to encourage more environment friendly or 'green' driving. Meanwhile, wider concerns about road safety and in-car distractions remain. The 'Foot-LITE' project is an effort to balance these issues, aimed at achieving safer and greener driving through real-time driving information, presented via an in-vehicle interface which facilitates the desired behaviours while avoiding negative consequences. One way of achieving this is to use ecological interface design (EID) techniques. This article presents part of the formative human-centred design process for developing the in-car display through a series of rapid prototyping studies comparing EID against conventional interface design principles. We focus primarily on the visual display, although some development of an ecological auditory display is also presented. The results of feedback from potential users as well as subject matter experts are discussed with respect to implications for future interface design in this field.
