Characteristics Analysis and Design Discussion on New Human Interface of Electric Vehicle

摘要

As the energy supply for vehicle is becoming increasingly serious, electric vehicle (EV) has become a hot topic in both the auto industry and the public. During use, the current driving mileage and the battery level are the most common concerns of drivers. In recent years, the content and information which the EV's dashboard displays has greatly changed compared with traditional fuel vehicles. To promote the development of the human interface (HI) technology in China, this paper investigates the human interface of EV and comprehends the information contents and display characteristics different from traditional fuel vehicles. Meanwhile, through questionnaire, a survey on drivers' actual information demands and range anxiety is carried out. The results reveal and discuss the distinct display factors and presentation pattern of HI in EV, as well as the important information for drivers, to provide insight for the optimized layout, design, and related evaluation of HI in EV.
