Abstract
Human-machine co-driving presents a significant hurdle in automated driving system. The takeover process in automated driving system involves complex human factors, failure to takeover the vehicle and control driving behavior during the takeover process may lead to severe traffic safety hazards. An augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) takeover assistance information can provide real-time assistance information to the driving environment, enhancing drivers’ situation awareness (SA) and takeover decisions in highly automated driving system. This study investigated the impact of different AR-HUD types of takeover assistance information display. Three AR-HUD types, corresponding to the three pre-takeover behavioral processes (perception, understanding, and prediction), were evaluated: PSR (assistance in perceiving the source of risk), AS (assistance in analyzing situations), and MD (assistance in making decisions). The baseline (without assistance information) was used as the control group. In a driving simulation experiment using 360° panoramic video, seventy-nine participants performed SA assessment and visual tracking tasks. Questionnaire and eye-tracking data indicated that the type of AR-HUD displayed positively influenced drivers’ SA and takeover decisions, with AS being the most effective in enhancing SA and improving takeover performance. Additionally, this study compared the differences between the three types of AR-HUD and the baseline under two takeover request lead times (TORlt) of 5 seconds and 7 seconds. It was found that drivers’ SA was lower when TORlt was shorter (with the corresponding AR-HUD display also being shorter). This study provides insight concerning the impact of various types of AR-HUD takeover assistance information display and TORlt on driving safety. The findings support the further optimization of AR-HUD takeover assistance information design.
