Through the use of these advanced technologies, drivers can enjoy more high-quality life such as receiving real-time information, driving with shorter route duration, quickly to reach the destination, and so on. However, driving is a mental-driven and highly information-processing task which requires more cognitive ability and less physical skill. Most researches deliberate drivers’ behavior by focusing on the interaction between human and hardware. However, the issues for elaborating “Auditory information frequencies” deserve very little attention. As far as drivers are concerned, auditory assistance could be a critical point for enhancing driving performance and traffic safety. That’s the reason for conducting this study. A driving simulator is being used for the present study. All the relative data and driving reactions are recorded for further analysis. According to the experimental results, the human-centered design principles and suggestions will be proposed.
