Abstract(in English) At present in the ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) project to prevent traffic accidents, a system which warns drivers is being developed. The purpose of the present study is to suggest the use of electrotactile stimulation as way of verbal information transmission in order to warn to drivers. The verbal information to be provided consists of two items: direction and possible cause of accident. We have four directions and three possible causes of accident, for example: "Toward right a car exists!" Each of these twelve sub-items is transmitted to the drivers as a different stimulation that consists of two timeseries stimulation patterns (one for direction and another for cause) of two-channels voltage pulse trains. Stimulation patterns are designed to produce apparent movement, making easier and more intuitive the discrimination between patterns. We performed psychophysical experiments. These results suggest that the way we propose could achieve practical accuracy.
