Effects of e-map format and sub-window on navigation performance and glance behavior
With the advances in global position system (GPS), automobile manufacturers have begun to produce intelligent transportation systems to assist drivers, such as in-vehicle navigation systems. These navigation systems combine an electronic map (e-map) and permanent roadway signs to inform drivers of their current locations and traffic information visually or aurally. To date, the moving e-map is still the primary medium for navigation or GPS applications; it cant be completely replaced by voice guidance. An on-road driving experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of e-map format and sub-window on navigation performance and glance behavior while using an in-vehicle navigation system. Twenty participants navigated an urban route using the navigation display under 2D or 3D e-map conditions, and either with a sub-window or not. Driver navigation errors and visual glance data were collected during the trials. Results show that a sub-window reduced navigation errors but increased the time spent glancing to the visual display. There was no difference in performance between the 2D and 3D e-map conditions. However, 3D e-map led to more visual glance behavior to the navigation display than 2D one. The wider implications for the design of navigation visual displays are discussed.
