Hi,
I am planning to conduct usability testing for a motorcycle HMI. The HMI has a joystick which can control the menu of the HMI (only when the biker is not riding the bike). I am thinking of measuring intuitiveness of the HMI, general user experience, Workload and Affect. Intuitiveness of the HMI would be measured for the case when the biker is riding the bike. Other variables would be measured for the case when the biker is not riding the bike. Should I measure any other variables as well?
Any suggestions on how to measure intuitiveness/glanceability of the HMI? I am planning to measure intuitiveness of the HMI as glanceability of the motorcycle HMI is critical considering the biker's safety (Eyes off the road has to be as minimal as possible while ensuring grasp of information from HMI).
It would be also great if anyone can share any literature regarding motorcycle HMI.
Thanks.
Abhijai
Hi Abhijai,
Is this going to be a field study? How are you planning to measure "Eyes off the road"? If you do not have Access to a mobile eye tracker, maybe EOG could do the job?
As for intuitivity, I know the INTUI Questionnaire, but I do not know if it is available in English.
Ullrich, Daniel, and Sarah Diefenbach. "INTUI. Exploring the Facets of Intuitive Interaction." Mensch & computer. Vol. 10. 2010.
Apart from this, I can recommend to also include qualitative data, maybe in form of a short post-interaction interview, as this will provide possible explanations for your measured variables.
Kind regards,
Patrick
Thanks Patrick. As per your opinion, is there any other variable to be measured?
There are surely a lot of variables that you could measure, the question is: what do you want to know?
What is your research question?
Just finding usability problems? -> include a thinking aloud measure
Benchmark the Interface? -> Task completion times, joy of use, eyes off the road time, primary task performance (assuming using the Interface is the secondary task)
Hi Abhijai,
we've conducted quite some studies related to motorcycle HMIs at our institue (WIVW). As Patrick stated, your measures depend on your specific use case, research question etc. Some studies related to secondary task engagement and HMI have been conducted on our motorcycle riding simulator. Maybe these studies could help:
- Assessing Powered Two Wheelers’ display and control concepts – results from a pilot study
- Method to Assess the Processing of Optical Information by Non-primary Riding Tasks while Riding a Motorcycle
You should find both studies here on research gate.
Best regards, Sebastian
