Urban Driving: Where to Present What Types of Information -- Comparison of Head-Down and Head-Up Displays

In this paper, a comparison is made of different categorizations of the content of information given with a warning presented, either on a head-up or head-down display, in the context of urban driving. The study shows a significant advantage of the head-up display in terms of workload. No significant difference for three warning scenarios was found in a driving simulator experiment where the reaction times and the standard deviation of the distance to lane center were compared. The results will help build a generic and integrative HMI concept in the future.     «
