Abstract
This paper studied the effect of replacing automotive reflection mirrors with digital mirrors (DM) on the driver’s safety and comfort. In this perspective, a new classification for DMs was proposed in appendance with a brief overview of driver’s visual ergonomics, associated with comparison and criticism of automotive DM design causality. Automotive laser shadowgraphy from car interior was performed to measure the obscuration in the driver’s direct field of view, due to the presence of DM displays at nine different obscuration positions. The driver’s off-road glances time toward DM displays was measured using a digital video recorder system. The eye glances of thirty drivers of different ages during different traffic conditions and their opinion about each display position through a simple questionnaire were statistically analyzed. Some pilot solutions were also proposed to reduce the expected drawbacks of such technology.
