The impact of AR-HUD intelligent driving on the allocation of cognitive resources under the breakthrough of 5G technology

Abstract

Abstract This paper focuses on the establishment of an ARHUD assisted driving test system based on a VR platform, which has the advantages of high security and immersion, repeatable experiments and the ability to perform eye-movement analysis. This paper first defines and designs the vehicle driving safety icons based on human-computer interaction principles and engineering psychology, supplemented by PS to define and design the AR-HUD interface while combining mental load and other factors, then uses 3Dsmax software to build the 3D model material required for driving, then builds the driving environment and designs various driving emergencies in Unity based on featured technologies such as multi-channel rendering and global illumination, and then combines HTC VIVE Pro eye display. Thirty drivers were then tested on a distraction task. Analysis of the subjects’ eye-movement data revealed that the AR-HUD system improved the cognitive efficiency of the drivers compared to the traditional driving method while allocating cognitive resources to the central driving area, speed module, navigation information, and hazard warnings in a balanced manner, thus improving the ability to react to unexpected driving events.
