For about 5 years, production of automobiles equipped with head-up display (HUD) systems has continuously grown and this trend will remain for at least three years more from 2014 [7,19]. Therefore, looking for clarifying how to orientate... more
Until vehicles are fully autonomous, safety, legal and ethical obligations require that drivers remain aware of the driving situation. Key decisions about whether a driver can take over when the vehicle is confused, or its capabilities... more
Augmented reality (AR) in automobiles has the potential to significantly alter the driver's user experience. Prototypes developed in academia and industry demonstrate a range of applications from advanced driver assist systems to... more

Drivers use sat nav for navigation assistance but research links sat nav with risk of distraction [10]. Visual and cognitive workload can be increased as drivers divert their attention from the road [1, 8]. Mitigating such risks is vital... more
A virtual reality study concerning participants’ anxiety levels when immersed in a virtual reality interaction with an autonomous vehicle was conducted. Five conditions were tested. The examined conditions are based on awareness of the... more
The automobile industry has produced many cars with new features over the past decade. However, the interaction between the driver and the car has not changed significantly. The information being delivered -both in quantity and method... more
Interactions with in-vehicle electronic devices can interfere with the primary task of driving. The concept of cognitive load helps us understand the extent to which these interactions interfere with the driving task and how this... more
Sistemas de assistência à condução e navegação em automóveis tornaram-se ubíquos nos últimos anos. No entanto, o modo de interacção mais comum destes sistemas foi avaliado por diversos estudos como tendo um considerável potencial de... more
Traffic control through an adequate location of devices can improve traffic flow and reduce collisions. Today’s technology is capable of virtually conveying to the driver information that is traditionally displayed through traffic signs... more
With the growing technological advances in autonomous driving, the transport industry and research community seek to determine the impact that autonomous vehicles (AV) will have on consumers, as well as identify the different factors that... more
This paper introduces a system for estimating the attention of a driver wearing a first person view camera using salient objects to improve gaze estimation. A challenging data set of pedestrians crossing intersections has been captured... more
This paper introduces a novel design for an automotive full-windshield Head-Up Display (HUD) interface which aims to improve the driver's spatial awareness and response times under low visibility conditions. We have further designed and... more
Since the early days of automotive entertainment, music has played a crucial role in establishing pleasurable driving experiences. Future autonomous driving technologies will relieve the driver from the responsibility of driving and will... more
Contemporary automotive, navigation and infotainment requirements have evolved the traditional dashboard into a complex device that can often distract the driver. Head-Up Displays (HUDs) have recently attracted the attention in the field... more
Augmented reality (AR) is an interface that can potentially provide more intuitive and immersive experiences, particularly for automotive applications. In this paper we present the Personal Navi, a vehicular AR navigational aid designed... more
Human Machine Interface (HMI) concepts for autonomous vehicles have thus far been oriented towards the needs of the vehicle operator. In this work, an autonomous vehicle HMI utilizing LED lights, a display, and audio was created to... more
Ensuring that mixed reality spaces are inclusive to those who have motor impairments requires evaluating and, if necessary, modifying existing technology for the assistive mobility devices they use. Heads-up displays (HUDs) are a common... more
Mack and Rock's research (1999), suggests that we perceive only those objects and events to which we directly attend. This means that the majority of unexpected visual information goes unnoticed, no matter how dramatic or important it may... more
This paper introduces a novel design approach for an automotive direct manipulation interface. The proposed design, as applied in a fullwindshield Head-Up Display system, aims to improve the driver's situational awareness by considering... more
In the context of interactive and automated vehicles, driver situation awareness becomes an increasingly important consideration for future traffic systems, whether it concerns the current status of the vehicle or the surrounding... more
In Nigeria, shock is the core reason for emergency room visits and road traffic accidents are liable for the majority of deaths recorded. The overall road traffic injury rate is about 41 per 1000 population and mortality from road traffic... more
Initially, physical examination were limited to only surface checks with little of diagnosis before advanced health technology was developed in this our modern century. Dating back to the 19th century, the history and physical examination... more

Augmented Reality (AR) has evolved to become a viable tool for creating synthetic simulated environments. This paper presents an AR system called AR Vehicle “ARV” system application to traffic engineering. Left turn gap acceptance is a... more
This study compared the effects of simulated head-up display (HUD) and dashboard-mounted digital speedometers on key perceptual driving tasks in a simulated driving environment. Subjects were 20 male and female volunteers ranging in age... more
In driving applications, a full windshield head-up display (FWD) system provides a flexible way for delivering driving related information. The projected information (text, image and graphics) is distorted on the car windshield because of... more
The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of driver's perceptions of Head-Up Displays (HUD). Many HUD studies have been conducted but few have allowed drivers to test a HUD in their own vehicle, allowing them to choose... more
