This simulator-based study examined the use of conventional auditory warnings (tonal, non-verbal sounds) and auditory icons> (representational non-verbal sounds), alone and in combination with a dash-mounted visual display, to present information about impending collision situations to commercial motor vehicle operators. Brake response times were measured for impending front-to-rear collision scenarios under six display configurations, two vehicle speeds, and two levels of headway. Accident occurrence was measured for impending side collision scenarios under two vehicle speeds, two levels of visual workload, two auditory displays, absence/presence of mirrors, and absence/presence of dash-mounted iconic display. Subjective preference data was also obtained from participants. For both front-to-rear and side collision scenarios, auditory icons elicited significantly improved driver performance over conventional auditory warnings. Driver performance improved when collision warning information was presented through multiple modalities. Brake response times were significantly faster for impending front-to-rear collision scenarios using the longer headway criterion. The presence of mirrors significantly reduced the number of accidents for impending side collision scenarios. Subjective preference data indicated that participants preferred multi-modal displays over single-modality displays. A technique for systematically identifying, selecting, and evaluating candidate auditory icons was also developed. The potential exists to expand upon these developments, toward the goals of identifying appropriate auditory icons, improving operator performance, and developing information display techniques to effectively managing workload across multiple modalities. / Master of Science

Published Article / Typography and layout are two powerful graphic tools in print advertising. They are used to arrest the attention of the target market by creating a positive association, a controversy or stimulate some kind of intellectual game. This means that much of the message has already been conveyed by creatively expanding and diversifying the conventional values embedded in certain graphic means and basing the advertisements on prevailing textual norms and our past experiences before the message itself has even been read, by just focusing on the typography used (e.g. compare the text layout and typography of a newspaper or a cell phone SMS). Based on a randomly selected South African dataset, aspects of the graphological options with their functional values will be described.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka användbarheten hos ikonbiblioteket Font Awesome samt hur sammanhanget påverkar användares uppfattning av en ikon. Frågeformulär och intervjuer har besvarats av 20 testpersoner för att undersöka hur internetanvändare uppfattar användningen av 35 utvalda ikoner och hur dessa ikoner bör presenteras för att bidra till hög användbarhet på webbplatser och i applikationer. Resultatet från frågeformuläret påvisar att flertalet ikoner kräver tillhörande text eller tydliga sammanhang för att vara användbara. Resultatet från intervjuerna påvisar att sammanhanget där en ikon presenteras har stor betydelse för hur användarna uppfattar ikonens representation. / This research is aimed to investigate the usability of the icon library Font Awesome and how context affects the user’s perception of an icon. Questionnaires and interviews were conducted by 20 respondents in order to examine how users perceive the use of 35 selected icons and how the icons should be presented for achieving good usability on web sites and in applications. The results of the questionnaire indicate that the majority of icons require accompanying text or clear context to demonstrate usability. The results of the interviews demonstrate that the context in which an icon is presented is of great importance for how users perceive the intention behind the application of the icon.
