Abstract

The effect of the partial restriction of visibility from an industrial vehicle in zones where visual information is sought, on the steering of the vehicle, its driving speed, and the possibility of predicting the movement of a pedestrian ready to cross in front of the vehicle is investigated. Results showed how the systematic surveillance of environment is organized in situations of reduced visibility. The active displacement of the head is one of the strategies used by the subjects. The data also showed the importance of perceptual anticipation, which was used to implement an efficient program of action to avoid collisions or a situation of conflict.
