Driver’s Perception of A-Pillar Blind Area: Comparison of Two Different Auditory Feedback

Recent years with the development of science and technology, vehicles not only bring convenience to people but also require high quality to ensure the safety of passengers. So, the frame of the car became stronger. In order to improve the safety of the driver, and Consistent with the unity of the body, the car’s pillars are also increasingly wide.As A-pillar widens, their negative impact on the driver’s panoramic field of vision increases [1]. At the same time, as the field of view becomes smaller, there is an increased risk that the driver will ignore people or objects outside the vehicle. A-pillar blind area refers to the blind area of vision during driving. Generally, there are three pillars on each side of the car body, and the diagonal pillars on both sides of the windshield are called a pillar. The driver’s field of vision will be partially blocked by the A-pillar before the car turns or enters the curve, resulting in a blind area in the field of vision [2]. In order to solve the A-pillar blind area, this project studies the drivers’ different perception of sound frequency and rhythm respectively which reflect the distance of obstacles. The results of the study show that both the frequency and rhythm of sound improved drivers’ perception of blind areas in their field of vision, and participants had clear preferences in showing distance by sound frequency.
