| Abstract | Abstract. This paper proposes a new type of navigation system using head-up display technology for motorcycle. We developed a navigation system using laser projector technology to construct the head-up display system representing information provided with images in high contrast and brightness. We assume this projection technology makes the navigation system suitable for motorcycles using the head-up display compatible with the windshield. The contrast and brightness supports to build up the navigation system for motorcycles so that the rider can obtain information even while running on public road during day or night. To confirm the usage of this system, we conducted an experiment using the motorcycle simulator in the immersive CAVE environment. The motorcycle simulator designed as a full-scale scooter type motorcycle operated in a virtual test course based on a real town in Japan visualized through the immersive CAVE environment. This made it capable for the subject to operate the motorcycle as if they were driving an actual motorcycle in the real world. By measuring the rider's viewpoint in the motorcycle simulator, we concluded that the navigation system using the head-up display could potentially provide navigation information while keeping the rider's viewpoint on the road surface. We indexed the stationary time and the reaction time against the provided information in 9 positions on the windshield to observe how the motorcycle rider will react in each position. From the results of the experiment, we found out that displaying information at the lower right or lower left positions are significantly effective, indicating that these two positions can potentially navigate drivers while the driver does not need to take their viewpoints off the road surface. |
