Abstract:
The car navigation system is popular and map applications, such as Google Map, are also popularly used. Such map applications on a smartphone sometimes are used as the car navigation system. They are so useful to drive a car in unfamiliar religion. However, drivers sometimes take wrong roads in case of the instruction, such as “turn right at XX meters ahead.” We estimate that this wrong-driving is caused by the difference between a perceptual distance and true one. In this research, differences between perceptional values and true ones for the distance and elapsed time were studied. We propose a new guidance method that is “turning on the right/left blinker.” As a result of evaluation experiments, this method effectively decreases mis-driving. This method would not annoy a driver and is superior in terms of safety driving. Since a driver surely turns on a blinker before turning in this method, a subsequent driver must notice a former automobile will turn immediately. We proposed a new guidance method that is “turning on the right/left blinker.” As a result of evaluation experiments, this method effectively decreases mis- driving; and is superior in terms of safety driving.
