Book Description
A significant advance over the previous edition, this title contains new information you need to know about driver perception and response.While the basic subject matter--driver perception and perception-response time--remains the same, chapters have been added that cover in greater depth material that was briefly mention in the first edition. Additional chapters present completely new material on the topics of driver eye movements and visual attention. Driver Perception and Response pulls together the available information on two primary themes: what a driver could (or should) have seen and how long he or she takes to respond in an emergency situation. TOPICS INCLUDE - Applicability of human factors
- General principles of vision and perception
- Visibility with motor vehicle headlamps and with streetlighting
- Night photography
- Methods of evaluation
- Basic perception-response situations and complicating factors.
- Evaluation of visibility in the field
- Factors that degrade visual performance under night driving conditions
- Fundamentals of vision in driving
- Human variability
- Visibility when driving at night
- Perception-response time in non-standard situations
- Problems in the use of nighttime photography as evidence in litigation
- Visibility with fixed lighting
