“…The HDD by default, forces the user to take their eyes from the road, and focus momentarily on the lower section of the vehicle (dashboard) which accommodates multiple infotainment displays [15,16,17,18]. A plethora of studies have analysed the drivers' cognitive load in different scenarios involving vehicle instrumentation, navigation systems, radio, CD and mobile phones amongst other devices [16,17,18,19]. The conclusions of such studies suggest a high collision probability whilst the driver operates any of the aforementioned in tandem to the main driving task [1,2,4,20,21].…”

The paper presents a prototype Head Up Display interface which acts as an interactive infotainment system for rear seat younger passengers, aiming to minimize driver distraction. The interface employs an Augmented Reality medium that utilizes the external scenery as a background for two platform games explicitly designed for this system. Additionally, the system provides AR embedded information on major en route landmarks, navigational data, and local news amongst other infotainment options. The proposed design is applied in the peripheral windscreens with the use of a novel Head-Up Display system.The system evaluation by twenty users offered promising results discussed in the paper.

“…One possible explanation is when drivers are distracted, they make fewer essential driving-related procedures and their alertness may be diminished (42). Another explanation is related to the limited capacity of visual short-term memory (VSTM) to only 4 or 5 items (43) that embrace new visual data.…”

Background: Background: Conversation over the cell phone while driving is a known risk factor for road traffic crash. Using handsfree to talk on the cell phone may remove visual and manual distraction yet not the cognitive distraction. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to better understand the mechanisms of cognitive distraction due to hands-free cell phone conversation (HFPC) while driving. Methods: Twelve male and 12 female University students in Tehran, Iran, were selected via the consecutive convenient sampling method, and randomly assigned to one of the following administrations of cross-over quasi-experimental study design, during year 2016: Administration 1, participants performed the tests while involved in HFPC, took rest for 60 minute, and then performed the tests another time without HFPC; Administration 2, participants performed the tests without HFPC, took rest, and then performed the tests another time with HFPC. Each participant moved to the other administration after 7 to 10 days. The Vienna test system (VTS) was used to measure simple and choice reaction time, selective attention, visual orientation, and visual memory. Linear regression analysis was used to study the change in test scores due to HFPC.

“…After all, driving is a complex task, requiring a driver to employ a range of cognitive processes. These include: perception and pattern recognition (Kass et al, 1991); attention and comprehension (Kass et al, 2007;Wickens & Hollands, 2000); and decision-making (Endsley, 1995b;Ma & Kaber, 2005). However, due to age-related declines, these may become impaired and be revealed through, for example, slower motor responses (Rinalducci, Smither, & Bowers, 1993) and poorer judgement of gaps (Darzentas, McDowell, & Cooper, 1980).…”

A study investigating the comparative situation awareness of older and younger drivers when driving a route with extended periods of cognitive taxation A study investigating the comparative Situation Awareness of older and younger drivers when driving a route with extended periods of cognitive taxation. Highlights• Younger drivers performed comparatively better than older drivers in Situation Awareness related scoring.• Perceptions of task difficulty appeared to be an important influential factor for SA proficiency.• Textual analysis of driver commentaries found that older drivers were less aware of what was behind their vehicles and enunciated less safety-related concepts. AbstractThis study sought to measure and compare the Situation Awareness (SA) of a younger group of 11 drivers (average age 28.2 years) to that of an older group of 10 drivers (average age 77.2 years), as they traversed a route that included many cognitively taxing elements. This was achieved by recording a participant's continual commentary of what s/he felt to be of relevance during the drive. These recordings were then transcribed and assessed by computer software capable of abstracting the main concepts from each individual's or group's narrative, and calculating scores indicative of Situation Awareness. It was found that the younger drivers scored significantly higher (p<0.024) than their older counterparts. Furthermore, when the results from the participants who undertook both this and previous studies in the series were compared (see Key et al., 2016), it was found that SA scoring could be importantly influenced by perceptions of a task's difficulty, rather than its actual difficulty. It was also indicative from the narratives, that the younger driving group had demonstrated a better 360-degree awareness, and enunciated more safety-related concepts.
