Abstract

In the perspective of full-windshield HUD in cars, this study investigated whether adding a guidance cue in the visual scene influences drivers' gaze strategies and steering behavior. Participants negotiated a series of bends with or without a visual beacon positioned on the tangent point or close to it. Results revealed that the stability of steering was improved when tracking of the beacon was enforced. The visual cue was not spontaneously used by the drivers and gaze strategy only showed minor changes in that case.
