Pedal Application Error: Pedal Indicator Light - Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Pedal Application Error (PAE) is the term for when a driver mistakenly presses the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, causing unintended acceleration. Because drivers are often unaware of how they made the error, understanding such events is difficult. The authors aimed to determine and standardize a method of warning bus drivers that they are engaging the accelerator pedal. The authors conducted a review of relevant standards to identify the design requirements for warning icons in the bus driver information screen. Discussions were held with bus manufacturers on the design restrictions of bus cabs and Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Several designs were developed, and manufacturers were consulted on their technical feasibility, while bus drivers were surveyed for their preferences among the designs. Drivers rated Design 2 as the best and most intuitive, while manufacturers showed a clear preference for implementing it in the driver information screen. The recommendations for the HMI of the icon, and the selected design, are presented.
