Abstract

This paper introduces a novel automotive full-windshield Head-Up Display (HUD) interface, which aims to improve driver’s spatial awareness and response times under low visibility conditions. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed HUD system, a multidiscipline and multinational team of researchers built the driving simulator presented further on. Due to time and cost constraints, this simulator was assembled from off-the-shelf components and was based on open-source code. This paper will discuss the HUD function, present the challenges of the simulator's construction process and provide an analytical overview of the two accident scenarios used for the system evaluation. The evaluation outcomes of 40 user tests conducted using the custom-built driving simulator. The results are presented in detail and the conclusions of the study are discussed offering a tentative plan of future work.
