A human-machine interface is important for monitoring a machine condition to prevent a grave accident. When a human drives an automobile, the visual, hearing and smells senses are used. However, there is no allowance on the visual sense because it is used in a grasp of map information displayed on a car navigation system, in addition to a grasp of the road condition. There is also no allowances on the hearing sense because it is used in listening to the music, etc. In this study, seat vibration is focused on in order to convey further information for the safe driving, for example, alarms for drowsy driving and for lane deviation. First, the response time was examined using a chair with a built-in vibrator, and it was confirmed that the response time was almost equal to one using sound. Then, the factor analysis was conducted to collect basic data for designing the wave form.
