A Fuzzy Expert Model of Haptic Perception for Automobile Touch-Screen Displays

摘要

Haptic feedback is currently emerging as a feasible solution to cope with the security-related issues of automobile touch-screen displays, and at the same time to improve users satisfaction and quality of use. Therefore, we have developed a fuzzy symbolic model of haptic perception for automobile interfaces in cooperation with an automotive ergonomics expert. The model predicts the induced comfort degree of the haptic effects based on their ergonomic properties, and achieves, on a set of 48 haptic patterns, a global error rate of 14.6% and a compatibility rate of 89.6% with the expert evaluations.
