Description
Summary:As the global traffic environment becomes increasingly complex, driving safety issues have become more prominent, making manual-response driving warning systems (DWSs) essential. Augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) technology can project information directly, enhancing driver attention; however, improper design may increase cognitive load and affect safety. Thus, the design of AR-HUD driving warning interfaces must focus on improving attention and reducing cognitive load. Currently, systematic research on AR-HUD DWS interfaces is relatively scarce. This paper proposes an ecological interface cognitive balance design strategy for AR-HUD DWS based on cognitive load theory and environmental interface design theory. The research includes developing design models, an integrative framework, and experimental validation suitable for warning scenarios. Research results indicate that the proposed design effectively reduces cognitive load and significantly decreases driver response and comprehension times, outperforming existing interfaces. This design strategy and framework possess promotional value, providing theoretical references and methodological guidance for AR-HUD warning interface research.
