Popis: A vehicle head-up display (HUD) has a semitransparent property that utilizes a method of projecting light onto the windshield. The semitransparent characteristic of the HUD generates continuous superimposition between the “HUD graphic” and “road environment events.” This study aims to determine the effects of HUD use on elderly driving. Two age groups (elderly, younger) performed tasks (speed monitoring, navigation) utilizing two types of display (HUD, head-down display) in two different circumstances (high superimposition level, low superimposition level). Subject performance was evaluated by having the subjects execute a secondary display task while performing a primary driving task with an eye-tracking task. In addition, the degree of driver visual distraction was verified through the measurement of display glance duration. The results showed that an increase in superimposition negatively affected driver glance duration independent of age. However, the use of HUD in low superimposition situations showe...
