Abstract:A major challenge for designers of ATIS is to design displays that do not overload the driver. This is a particular concern for older drivers who may have decrements in the abilities required for safe driving. To compare information provided by an ATIS display to the real world, drivers may need to mentally rotate a display to match it with the forward view through the windshield. If the display is adjusted to reduce the amount of rotation required, the time to process the information should also be decreased. Several aviation displays implement this approach by rotating a 2-dimensional display around its center horizontal axis creating the impression of 3-dimensional depth. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of reducing information load from two directions. First, by examining rotated and non-rotated displays (as shown in figure l), and second, by comparing the conventional instrument-panel mounted (IPM) location to a heads-up display (HUD) location. In addition, the effect of these interventions on older drivers was examined.
