An experimental study on the position of in-vehicle displays

摘要

JAMA(Japan Automobile Manufactures Association, Inc)'s guideline for in-vehicle navigation systems is decided on the amount of information displayed while driving. In order to revise the guideline, the position of the display and the estimated formula, which could be applied from passenger cars to heavy trucks, was studied. The evaluation index was the distance that drivers could become aware of a preceding vehicle with their peripheral vision, because the traffic accidents that occur while drivers glance at in-vehicle displays are almost at rear end collisions. As a result, the lower limit of the position of an in-vehicle display for a passenger car was 30 degrees, and a heavy truck was 46 degrees.
