N2 - The main objective of this research was to investigate four types of RGI (Route Guidance Information) systems and evaluate the suitability of the systems, which will improve safety and mobility of foreign drivers who drive temporarily in Japan. Twelve foreign drivers were asked to operate a driving simulator while using four types of route guidance information developed by utilizing arrow-type and map-type information. Glance behavior including fixation time, glance frequency, and mental workload were measured. Results suggest that the most suitable navigation system for foreign drivers is to provide selectable information by driver's control, which is supported by more explicit and simple information than that of a current navigation system.
