Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_400438_17OBJECTIVE: We show how to choose colors for icons on maps to minimize search time using predictions of a model of visual search. BACKGROUND: The model analyzes digital images of a search target (an icon on a map) and a search display (the map containing th...Contributions of physical and cognitive impairments to self-reported driving difficulty in chronic whiplash-associated disorders - Takasaki H, Treleaven J, Johnston V, Jull G. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_400546_17STRUCTURED ABSTRACT: Study Design. Cross-sectionalObjective. To conduct a preliminary analysis of the physical, cognitive and psychological domains contributing to self-reported driving difficulty after adjusting for neck pain, dizziness and relevant demog...Driver recognition of a run-over accident - Park SJ, Chae SW. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_400049_17If a driver passes over a pedestrian lying on the road and flees, it is considered a crime. In several cases, even if the driver fled and was arrested, he/she often asserts that they did not know that the victim was a human being. However, the investigatio...Evaluating discomfort glare from non-uniform electric light sources - Cai H, Chung T. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399874_17This study tested the appropriateness of unified glare rating (UGR), CIE glare index (CGI), British glare index (BGI), and visual comfort probability (VCP) for evaluating discomfort glare from common non-uniform electric light sources. An experiment was co...Feasibility of a support system for reducing right-turn accidents - Tsukada N, Yamada K. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_400054_17In order to achieve a safe motorized society in the coming years, it is essential to work toward preventing the very occurrence of traffic accidents. It is particularly important to face the reality that the majority of traffic accidents are caused by driv...The effect of external non-driving factors, payment type and waiting and queuing on fatigue in long distance trucking - Williamson A, Friswell R. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_400366_17INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to explore the effects of external influences on long distance trucking, in particular, incentive-based remuneration systems and the need to wait or queue to load or unload on driver experiences of fatigue. METHODS: ...The effect of proximity, Tall Man lettering, and time pressure on accurate visual perception of drug names - Irwin A, Mearns K, Watson M, Urquhart J. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_400443_17OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of proximity and time pressure on accurate and effective visual search during medication selection from a computer screen. BACKGROUND: The presence of multiple similar objects in proximity to a targe...Using multisensory cues to facilitate air traffic management - Ngo MK, Pierce RS, Spence C. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399885_17Objective: In the present study, we sought to investigate whether auditory and tactile cuing could be used to facilitate a complex, real-world air traffic management scenario. Background: Auditory and tactile cuing provides an effective means of improvi...Using obstacle detection to identify appropriate illuminances for lighting in residential roads - Fotios S, Cheal C. Sensing and Response Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399886_17This paper uses data regarding detection of pavement obstacles to explore two approaches to establishing an appropriate illuminance for road lighting designed to meet the needs of pedestrians. A previous obstacle detection experiment was repeated using you...
