Abstract: Head-Up Display (HUD) technology presents many opportunities and challenges for mitigating driver distraction, improving driver comfort, and engaging drivers with their vehicles. On one hand, the reduction of the distance that the eyes need to travel between the road and a display can minimize the amount of time required to view a display relative to a traditional Head-Down Display (HDD). There is also an added benefit in that peripheral roadway information can be processed while viewing a HUD, allowing some aspects of vehicle control, like lane keeping, to be partially supported. On the other hand, humans have difficulty simultaneously processing two displays overlaid on each other. Viewing HUDs while driving may therefore prevent drivers from perceiving events in the environment, particularly centrally located hazards such as a braking lead vehicle. The potential benefits and drawbacks of using a HUD in a vehicle must therefore be investigated. The Head-Up Displays and Distraction Potential work focuses on identifying knowledge gaps on HUD technology related to visual attention, focal distances, effects on reactions to events, in-vehicle HUD display elements, and performance metrics related to this technology. This is to collection session in which members of the public perform driving related tasks and electronic device use tasks while their eye glance and driving behavior is recorded. The volunteer drivers will be recruited from the southwest Virginia area. All data will be stored on a secure, password protected server. The collection will occur during a single period that will end once the total number of participants has been reached. Each entity will only participate once. The results will be submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and upon agency review, will be published and made available to the general public. The overall purpose of this collection is to determine if there are safety risks to in-vehicle head-up displays. This information collection is completely voluntary and All participants will be compensated for their time. This research will consist of a single data
