  • Car App's Persuasive Design Principles and Behavior Change
    International Conferences ITS, ICEduTech and STE 2016 CAR APP’S PERSUASIVE DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE* Chao Zhang1*, Lili Wan1* and Daihwan Min2 1*College of Business, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies 107 Imun-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 02450, Korea 2Department of Digital Management, Korea University, Seoul, Korea 145 Anam-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, 02841, Korea ABSTRACT The emphasis of this study lies in behavior change after using car apps that assist users in using their vehicles and establishing a process for examining the interrelationship between car app’s persuasive characteristics and behavior change. A categorizing method was developed and 697 car apps were investigated and classified into eight categories. Meanwhile, an evaluation guideline was developed and nine persuasive design characteristics were found to be popular used. A quasi-experiment was conducted and a behavior change evaluation process was developed. 109 participants were recruited and asked to use a car app for two weeks. The results indicate that participants clearly perceived eight persuasive design principles and four types of behavior change were found. The participants in four behavior change groups showed different perception levels for eight persuasive design principles. Our pioneer work has contributed to help designers and automakers to develop more effective and more persuasive car apps. KEYWORDS Persuasion, Persuasive technology, Persuasive design principles, Behavior change, Car apps, Car-related mobile apps 1. INTRODUCTION Car-related mobile applications, which have accompanied the explosive growth of smart cars and smart mobile devices, are broadly used as brand-new medium and paid attention by app designers and automakers. However, it still not causes academia attentions.

Over the development and last decade, car manufacturers, technology companies, and broadband adoption of connected providers have connected vehicles to networks, automated many of their vehicles will slow. functions, and brought a wealth of innovative applications to consumers. Policymakers should take steps to spur the continued deployment of connected cars, especially by ensuring that connected cars can “talk” to connected infrastructure. In the past, cars were primarily mechanical devices that used some electricity to power certain components, such as lights, radios, and spark plugs. Over the last two decades, cars have incorporated both mechanical and digital capabilities. Just as computers became increasingly connected to the Internet in the 1990s, cars are now becoming increasingly connected to networks and devices. Not only does this include connectivity to the Internet, it also includes connections to digital services provided by automakers, to the driver’s smartphone, and to devices outside the vehicle, such as traffic lights, parking meters, other vehicles, and smart home equipment. Connected cars are becoming more common, with one report estimating that 90 percent of all new cars will have connectivity by 2020.2 Another report estimates that by 2020, there will be 61 million cars with data connectivity in use globally.3 But their deployment and functionality could be limited without supportive public policies.

    Cars, Code & Connectivity Four Keys to Success for Branded Connected Car Services Drive Rapid Results and Real Revenue When it comes to the internet of things (IoT), the sea of opportunities continues to expand as network technologies improve, channel access grows and consumers gain confidence in the value of our increasingly connected lives. There’s one ‘connected’ segment in particular that is not only gaining meaningful traction with consumers but is also having a transformational effect on mobile network operators (MNOs): the car. To be clear, we’re not talking about the self-driving cars of the future: we’re referring to the global aftermarket opportunity of more than 1.2 billion passenger vehicles already on the world’s roadways. Almost all cars — and their owners — can benefit from an affordable, easy-to-install upgrade via the simple combination of a plug-and-play device and a mobile app, delivered as your branded connected car service. Case in point: in its first 12 months of operation, SyncUP DRIVE unlocked a $100M net-new business for T-Mobile, with more than 500,000 net-adds and a 4 star app store rating. The connected car sector is one of the largest and most addressable IoT In order to truly maximize markets for global MNOs to attack the connected car with precision, and many forecasts are opportunity, MNOs need highly encouraging: according to market to look to the even larger research firm Counterpoint, more than 125 aftermarket opportunity million connected cars with embedded connectivity will be shipped between (devices in existing cars) 2018-2022.1 That’s going to require a lot and put their brand, and the of bandwidth.
