abstract="PURPOSE - The purpose of this paper is to investigate drivers' differing psychological perceptions of cyclists' conspicuity according to active visibility aid configurations on clothing. <br><br>DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH - The flashing light-emitting diodes (FLEDs) were positioned on the major joints (shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles) in eight configurations and pre- and post-surveys were conducted. <br><br>FINDINGS - The results indicated that there were significant differences among the eight configurations in observers' detection and recognition of cyclists, contributions of FLEDs, and visibility of cyclists (p < 0.001). Among the eight different configurations on joints, FLEDs on the hips, knees, and ankles were the most detectable, recognizable, and visible. <br><br>ORIGINALITY/VALUE - Most of the previous studies have investigated passive visibility aids and there is a lack of research on FLED configurations on major joints for cyclists. Thus, this study is expected to be beneficial to designers when developing active visibility aid clothing for cyclists.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
