Advantage of Head-Up Display for Automobiles

Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate a harmful influence on normal driving behavior of Head-Up Display (HUD). It is one of major concerns in the latest HUD development. We confirmed whether inter-vehicle distance varies depending on HUD display by monitoring a distance between driving vehicle and one in front when the vehicle is stopped. The result shows that HUD indication does not influence the inter-vehicle distance when stopping on the general road. Therefore, it can be concluded that the concern in the latest HUD does not hamper its advantage.
