Replacement Seat Vibrating Alarm Warning : WHEN a car is increasingly crowded with various sensors and warning system to help motorists face-to-safe. Most of these systems use a visual warning system and a voice that makes the driver actually becomes 'overload'.Researchers from Yale School of Engineering (YSE) choose how to warn passing a physical stimulus with a small vibrating motors installed in the driver's seat to tell you that there is another vehicle approaching.
Professor John Morrell berpandapat that was more than enough visual stimuli in a modern car. Therefore, engineers at Yale developed a warning system through the vibrations in the driver's seat.
This innovation is outlined in a model called The Open Racing Car Simulator (TORCS). Driver's seat has a 20 motor vibration such as on mobile devices arranged in a square pattern on the back of the back.
If any vehicle approaching from behind, then the vibrator motor in the back will be active at the same time giving a warning that tells the location of the arrival direction of an approaching vehicle. If the approaching vehicle is on the left side of the vibration will be felt on the back of the left, so if the vehicle coming from the right.
Vibration will increase along with the approaching vehicle coming. In addition there will be little gentle pressure on the ribs driver if the vehicle is displayed, allowing the rider had been aware of the existence of objects that come.
Initial testing showed that vibrotactile warning system can improve driver performance compared only with the use of the rearview mirror and also help drivers know the existence of a hidden vehicle in the rearview mirror blindspot region.
Studies conducted by Yale, not the first time using a physical warning system. Previous research conducted by General Motors and the Dutch TNO research organization also uses the same system to indicate the direction of the navigation device.
By implementing a warning system like this, the car's interior is expected to become more peaceful future by decreasing the various alarm warning, but increasingly more information that can be delivered to the driver
