HUD RESEARCH PROJECT

With ever-rising automotive safety standards, automotive manufacturers have been pushing towards improving occupant safety and convenience by adding sophistication to vehicles using ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Recent developments in the industry have been towards adding additional display systems to work in collaboration with aforementioned ADAS systems to educate the passengers on vehicle status and information. This project is a comparative study on driver reaction through measurement of reaction time and gaze time when ADAS warnings are displayed on two commercial display systems (HDD and HUD) and a new concept that provides a dynamic birds eye view for warnings. The experiment plan is to measure driver work load through reaction time to FCW warning in the simulator for 15 subjects in the age group of 20-30, through full factorial design and to prove our case for the new design. The expected results by using the new concept are— reduction in driver mental workload and EORT, and improved response time to execute preventive action to avoid collision.
