Abstract: Two studies investigated the concept of following a lead vehicle as a navigational aid. The first video-based study (n=34) considered how drivers might use a real-world lead vehicle as a navigational aid, whist the second simulator-based study (n=22) explored how an Augmented Reality (AR) virtual car, presented on a head-up display (HUD), may aid navigation around a complex junction. Study 1 indicated that a lead vehicle is most valued as a navigation aid just before/during a required maneuver. During the second study the dynamic virtual car (which behaved like a real vehicle) resulted in greater confidence and lower workload than a static virtual car that “waits” at the correct junction exit, but resulted in more gaze concentration. It is concluded that a virtual car may be a valuable element of a navigation system, in combination with other forms of information, to completely fulfil all a driver's navigational task requirements.
