Vision in Vehicles IV
“Vision in Vehicles IV” by I.D. Brown, published by Elsevier Science in 1993, is a comprehensive volume that explores current research in visual perception as it relates to vehicle design. Spanning 364 pages, this edition delves into various aspects of vision, addressing both internal and external vehicle design and the perceptual and cognitive limitations faced by vehicle operators.
Readers will find a thorough examination of topics such as driver vision, vehicle glazing, and light transmission, along with critical discussions on collision avoidance and vehicle signaling systems. The book also covers the external environment’s impact on vision, including traffic signs, and presents methodologies for measuring and modeling driver behavior. Contributions from experts in fields like psychology, engineering, and human factors aim to advance research in visual perception and its applications in the automotive industry.
Official synopsis Publisher
This volume contains contributions illuminating much of the current research occurring in the area of visual perception. It encompasses all aspects of vision and its relationship to vehicle design, including both the internal and external design of the vehicle as well as the perceptual and cognitive limitations of the vehicle controller.
Issues specifically related to the vision of the driver are initially addressed and the problems of vehicle glazing and light transmission are considered. The major topics of visual perception and vehicle control are covered in three related chapters encompassing: collision avoidance, vehicle signalling systems and the acquisition of visual information. Moving on to the external environment and its relationship to vision, traffic signs are discussed. Approaches to the measurement and modelling of driver behaviour are dealt with and the area of telerobotic control of vehicles is considered. In-vehicle displays are covered in two related chapters addressing issues of visual workload and effects of display type.
It is hoped that the book, contributed to by experts from a diverse range of disciplines, including optometrists, psychologists, physiologists, human factors specialists and engineers, will stimulate the progression of research in this area, as effectively as the preceding volumes did.
