Besides motorists, also motorcyclists need safer user interfaces to
interact with useful applications on the road. In this paper,
distraction effects of in-vehicle tasks conducted with a head-up
display (HUD) for motorcyclists were compared to smartphone
tasks with 24 participants in a driving simulator.
Compared to the smartphone tasks, the head-up display tasks
decreased the percentage of inappropriately long glances by 45
percent. The head-up display tasks were also experienced as less
demanding than the smartphone tasks. Additionally, the use of
head-up display for navigation did not lead to gaze concentration
effects compared to baseline driving.
The head-up display is concluded to be a safer option for the tested
tasks for motorcyclists than a smartphone. Based on earlier
research, we assume that the use of peripheral vision allowed
drivers to better maintain situational awareness during the head-up
display tasks compared to the head-down smartphone tasks. In
addition, the easy-to-learn haptic design of the head-up display
handlebar controller could be used without vision.
