关于老年驾驶员对车辆仪表设计的偏好和态度知之甚少。然而，视觉处理障碍在老年人中很常见，可能会影响他们与车辆仪表板的交互能力。本研究的目的是通过焦点小组和内容分析方法，从他们那里获得有关这一主题的信息。一名训练有素的主持人领导了8个老年人重点小组。讨论是由有关仪表板界面，录音和转录大纲刺激。使用多步骤内容分析，训练有素的编码器将评论放入主题类别，并将评论编码为积极，消极或中性的含义。评论被编码成这些类别：仪表，旋钮/开关，室内照明，颜色，文字，符号，位置，娱乐，GPS，成本，一致性和获取信息。关于仪表和旋钮/开关的评论占评论的一半。女性对获取信息的评论更多，男性对一致性的评论更多。每个类别都有正面和负面的评论;偏好的个体差异很大。本研究的结果将被用来指导设计的人口为基础的调查，老年司机的仪表组格式，这也将研究他们的反应是如何与他们的视觉处理能力。
Little is known about older drivers’ preferences and attitudes about instrumentation design in vehicles. Yet visual processing impairments are common among older adults and could impact their ability to interface with a vehicle's dashboard. The purpose of this study is to obtain information from them about this topic, using focus groups and content analysis methodology. A trained facilitator led 8 focus groups of older adults. Discussion was stimulated by an outline relevant to dashboard interfaces, audiotaped, and transcribed. Using multi-step content analysis, a trained coder placed comments into thematic categories and coded comments as positive, negative, or neutral in meaning. Comments were coded into these categories: gauges, knobs/switches, interior lighting, color, lettering, symbols, location, entertainment, GPS, cost, uniformity, and getting information. Comments on gauges and knobs/switches represented half the comments. Women made more comments about getting information; men made more comments about uniformity. Positive and negative comments were made in each category; individual differences in preferences were broad. The results of this study will be used to guide the design of a population-based survey of older drivers about instrument cluster format, which will also examine how their responses are related to their visual processing capabilities.
