Human perception of distance is limited; moreover it gets worse when another factor such as speed is added. This is considered one cause of many rear-end accidents on the road. Apparently there is insufficient support for the driver in this regard. Zona tries to solve this problem. It is designed to display safe inter-vchicle distances and to be projected on heads-up car displays, where it shows the zone of safe inter-vchicle distances. In this paper, the process and evaluation of the design are described. The paper concludes with a preliminary evaluation of the design and reflections on future research.
