User Experience & Usability of Driving: A Bibliometric Analysis of 2000-2019

Driving is the most complex human-computer interaction for many individuals. The user experience (UX) and usability of driving are key issues in determining driving safety and user acceptance. Therefore several studies on both issues have been performed toward formulating beneficial driver-vehicle interactions and for future intelligent vehicles and autonomous environments. To provide an insight into these studies, this present study conducts bibliometric analyses to obtain information about when and where the research was conducted by whom and how mainstream content has evolved over the years. BibExcel and CiteSpace were utilized for the performance and co-word network analyses. A total of 2498 documents from 2000– 2019 in the field were filtered from the “Core Set” of Web of Science (WoS) for quantitative analysis. This study offers researchers a comprehensive understanding of UX and usability of driving studies in the last decades and research directions for the future.
