Abstract

In the presented driving simulator study, we propose a new test protocol for the assessment of the distraction potential of head-up display (HUD) technologies in the driving context. The method combines driving-related measures with the visual detection response task (DRT) as common evaluation protocols using eye glance measurement are no longer valid. The protocol was applied comparing several use cases in two conditions: a head-down display (HDD) and a head-mounted HUD using smart glasses. The results revealed that in relation to a reference task (manual radio tuning), the smart glasses did not impair either driving performance or visual workload significantly. Additionally, they led to lower visual workload than the HDD when reading text messages, but not when performing simpler tasks. The study points towards a positive effect on the distraction potential of visual-manual tasks with head-mounted HUDs and includes a first proposal for a standardised distraction assessment for these technologies.

以智能眼镜为例的车辆平视显示器分散注意力效果评估方法

在驾驶模拟器研究中，我们提出了一种新的测试方案来评估平视显示器(HUD)技术在驾驶环境中的分心潜力。该方法将驾驶相关测量与视觉检测响应任务(DRT)相结合，因为使用眼神测量的常见评估方案已不再有效。该协议在头戴式显示器(HDD)和使用智能眼镜的头戴式HUD两种情况下对几个用例进行了比较。结果显示，在参考任务(手动收音机调谐)方面，智能眼镜并没有显著影响驾驶性能或视觉负荷。此外，在阅读短信时，它们比硬盘的视觉负荷更低，但在执行更简单的任务时则不然。该研究指出，头戴式hud对视觉手动任务的分心潜力有积极影响，并首次提出了对这些技术进行标准化分心评估的建议。
