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.

Short Statement: This is a new data collection request. This research is primarily observational in nature, in which members of the public perform driving related tasks and electronic device use tasks while their eye glance and driving behavior is observed. The information collection aspect of this research includes the gathering of information used to screen participants (such as demographic and driving habits information). This research will increase NHTSA’s overall burden hour total by 35 burden hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $304,424
