Abstract:
Patterns are a methodology for capturing best practices and solutions to reoccurring problems in certain fields or disciplines. Applied to automotive interaction design they can combine empirical data, industry knowledge, and experts’ experience for state-of-the-art design solutions. In this paper, we present the patterns approach and its application to the automotive interaction domain, together with a newly generated set of eight in-vehicle user experience (UX) design patterns that describe answers to problems in automotive interaction design and engineering. These patterns are part of an ongoing project with the aim of providing a comprehensive, user experience focused, collection of design solutions for contemporary and future automotive designs. We present the pattern approach in general, the specific automotive approach and methodology, the patterns themselves, and finally discuss the benefits, drawbacks, and future work regarding patterns in the automotive domain.
