design research
March 2022 - August 2022
Challenge
A study employing design methods and secondary research aimed to ascertain which of the head-up display and traditional dashboard is safer for accessing information within the context of motorcycles.
Tasks performed
Realistic simulator
Survey
Literature review
DALI (Drive Activity Load Index) assessment
AttrakDiff® questionnaire
My role
Since this was my final bachelor thesis, I independently carried out the study and conducted all aspects of the research myself.
Simulator
This research paper aimed to validate the hypothesis that a HUD infotainment system could improve safety and comfort during rides. Following a thorough literature review, I developed a lifelike riding simulator to evaluate rider behaviors with both head-up and head-down displays.
Results
The collected data was analyzed using impartial assessment methods, including attrakdiff® and dali questionnaires. The findings of the study demonstrated that HUDs could reduce cognitive workload and minimize distractions, thereby enhancing riders’ focus during their journeys.
