Abstract
Increasing road safety through the use of new technologies is of general interest. In this paper we present a mobile assistant that uses augmented reality. This assistant was tested in real driving conditions. The participants assessed the comprehensibility and usability through a questionnaire. Results show that novice drivers could improve their driving skills by using new technologies such as Augmented Reality.
