Previously, car windshields served as a barrier against the wind or to prevent the driver from flying outside the vehicle in a collision. The windshield is therefore laminated and consists of two glasses and an intermediate layer consisting of the so-called polyvinyl butyral foil. The latest trend in car windshields is to consider the windshield as a display and project key information onto the windshield. Such glasses are called head-up displays. Various information such as car speed or route can be projected. The driver thus constantly maintains contact with the road, which increases driving safety. Head-Up Display quality is key to display information correctly without negative effects. Such a negative effect is if the displayed information is duplicated, which is called ghosting or double-image. This effect is undesirable and ranks first among the defects we detect in Head-Up Displays. The aim of this article is to compare different production technologies with a focus on the quality of HUD projection and on the double-image occurrence. The production technology enabling optimal HUD image quality is discussed as well. The article deals with a summary of HUD production technologies, focusing on the most common defect that occurs in HUD windshields and which reduce the overall quality of the product. The article evaluates and summarizes the key findings from the perspective of the end customer, but also in terms of the production process. For the driver, as an end customer, it is a source of information according to which he can orient himself in the offer of car equipment. It can be useful for production or development people in terms of processability and process costs. At the same time, the benefits and negatives of using windshields with a Head-Up Display are discussed.

“…On the other hand existing experiments have shown that receiving a call may cause an accident because it delays visual information processing by the driver. This benefit of Head-Up windshield should therefore be taken in quotation marks [10][11].…”

“…Globally, there are 5.27 billion unique mobile phones today, representing 66.9% of the total population [ 34 ]. The ubiquity of smartphones is undoubted, affecting the driving process, and represents a significant public health threat [ 35 , 36 ]. Talking on the phone while driving (TPWD) can have a wide range of unfavorable consequences [ 37 , 38 ], and contribute to the number of distraction-affected crashes [ 39 ].…”

Distracted driving is a growing concern around the world and has been the focus of many naturalistic and simulator-based studies. Driving simulators provide excellent practical and theoretical help in studying the driving process, and considerable efforts have been made to prove their validity. This research aimed to review relevant simulator-based studies focused on investigating the effects of the talking-on-the-phone-while-driving distraction on drivers’ behavior. This work is a scoping review which followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. The search was performed on five databases, covering twenty years of research results. It was focused on finding answers to three research questions that could offer an overview of the main sources of distraction, the research infrastructure, and the measures that were used to analyze and predict the effects of distractions. A number of 4332 studies were identified in the database search, from which 83 were included in the review. The main findings revealed that TPWD distraction negatively affects driving performance, exposing drivers to dangerous traffic situations. Moreover, there is a general understanding that the driver’s cognitive, manual, visual, and auditory resources are all involved, to a certain degree, when executing a secondary task while driving.

“…As per the statistics presented by the World Health Organization (WHO), road injuries are one of the top 10 leading causes of death in upper-middle-income countries like India. Almost 80-90% of traffic accidents are caused by the driver's mistakes while operating the vehicle, as well as a lack of attention and distracted behavior [25]. Due to this, countries all around the world are giving it an extremely high priority to improve road safety and develop a better traffic management system.…”

“…Even though there are multiple potential contributing factors, a lot of experiments indicate that the usage of a cellular phone while driving is likely to cause an accident as it delays the visual information processing by the driver [17]. Distracted driving, as it is well established in the literature, takes drivers' eyes off the road, switches their consciousness from driving to other tasks, and results in false perceptions [25]. Thus, in this project, we have proposed a vision-based solution that will warn the driver with an alerting sound when he or she is found with a mobile device in their hand [16].…”

The use of mobile devices can easily divert a driver's attention away from the road. Dangerous driving, such as texting and driving, can cause havoc in traffic and jeopardize safety. The goal of this project is to develop an accident-avoidance system that can detect the presence of a mobile phone in the driver's hand by installing an in-car camera facing the driver and running a YOLOv3-Tiny algorithm for mobile phone detection. In addition, the model will issue an audio alert to the driver and use face detection algorithms to determine the driver's identity. Twilio APIs are being used to send live messages to car owners about the actions taken using the car's location information.
