Abstract
This paper’s objective is to study the influence of sound and haptic feedback from smart wearable devices on performance of elderly drivers. The performance is measured with an assumption that those who spend more time to apply brake tend to be more prepared and aware of their surroundings. We create a prototype wearable device and experiment on how it affects drivers. A total of 9 elderly drivers were measured more than 108 times on how long they apply brake while driving. We then perform a paired sample T-test and found performance change from sound feedback to be statistically significant. We then calculate for correlation of the factors and performance. The factors with statistical significance are familiarity with smart devices and gender.
