First Claim
1. Method to display a graphic upon a substantially transparent windscreen head up display of a host vehicle describing a preferred driving distance for the host vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring a speed of the host vehicle;
monitoring a location of the eyes of an operator of the host vehicle;
determining a preferred driving distance for the host vehicle based upon the speed of the host vehicle;
determining a graphic describing the preferred driving distance for display upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display;
registering the graphic to the substantially transparent windscreen head up display based upon the location of the eyes of the operator; and
displaying the graphic upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display; and
wherein the substantially transparent windscreen head up display comprises one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of the windscreen permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen.

Abstract
A substantially transparent windscreen head up display includes one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of the windscreen permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen. A method to display a graphic upon a substantially transparent windscreen head up display of a host vehicle describing a preferred driving distance for the host vehicle includes monitoring a speed of the host vehicle, determining a preferred driving distance for the host vehicle based upon the speed of the host vehicle, determining a graphic describing the preferred driving distance for display upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display, and displaying the graphic upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display.

11. System to display a graphic upon a substantially transparent windscreen head up display of a host vehicle describing a preferred driving distance for the host vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a sensor monitoring a speed of the host vehicle; a sensor monitoring a range to a target vehicle; a sensor describing a location of the eyes of an occupant of the host vehicle; the substantially transparent windscreen head up display comprising one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of the windscreen permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen; an enhanced vision system manager monitoring the sensor monitoring the speed of the host vehicle, monitoring the sensor monitoring the range to the target vehicle, monitoring the sensor describing the location of the eyes of the occupant, determining the preferred driving distance for the host vehicle based upon the speed of the host vehicle, comparing the range to the target vehicle and the preferred driving distance, and determining a registered display requirement describing the comparison of the range to the target vehicle and the preferred driving distance based upon the comparison and the location of the eyes of the occupant; a graphics system generating the graphic describing the preferred driving distance to be displayed based upon the registered display requirement; and a graphics projection system communicating with the graphics system and displaying the graphic describing the preferred driving distance upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display.
