Summary
This study evaluated the safety impacts of the ADVANCE Mobile Navigation Assistant (MNA), an in-vehicle navigation system, compared to traditional paper maps and direction lists. Sixty participants drove a highly instrumented vehicle through four common routes using one of four navigation scenarios: MNA with voice guidance, MNA without voice, paper map, or paper direction list. Researchers analyzed eye glance behavior, driving performance metrics, hazard indicators, and driver perceptions to assess safety. The results indicated that drivers operated the vehicle equally as safely with the MNA as they did with paper-based methods, with no increase in collisions or significant safety-related errors. While drivers subjectively preferred the MNA with voice guidance for its ease of use and perceived safety, objective data showed that the voice supplement did not significantly reduce visual demands or error rates compared to the MNA without voice.
Key finding
Drivers navigated unfamiliar destinations equally as safely using the ADVANCE Mobile Navigation Assistant as they did using paper maps or direction lists, with no significant objective safety differences detected between the electronic system and traditional methods.
