SAE J3280_202306

The scope of this document is to describe system design guidelines for the use of haptic interfaces to manage system safety and functional aspects of designs applicable for OEM and aftermarket systems in light vehicles. The intent of these guidelines is to help system designers determine when to use haptic interfaces and how to ensure their effectiveness. These may be stand-alone interfaces or the haptic aspects of multi-modal (audio, video, speech, haptic) interfaces. Excludes haptic systems designed for use by passengers, which may be addressed in a future version. This SAE Information Report is provided to establish a set of high-level guidelines for systems with haptic interactions as a means of providing information about and enabling control of select vehicle features and functions. This information report describes key aspects that vehicle designers should consider when integrating haptics into a driver vehicle interface. While not a comprehensive set of guidelines, this information report is intended to establish general guidance to promote consistency in users’ experience and design of these haptic systems.
