Evaluation of collision avoidance prototype head-up display interface for older drivers (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., Papanastasiou, S., Mackenzie, L., & Arafat, S. (2011, July). Evaluation of collision avoidance prototype head-up display interface for older drivers. Presented at HCI International 2011, Orlando, FL, USA

Spatial and situational awareness could be decreased significantly under low visibility and adverse weather conditions. This could affect exponentially the reactions of the older drivers and increase dramatically their collision probability. To this...
