Download or read book The Effect of Driver Cataract Development on Roadway Sign Nighttime Legibility written by Justin Thomas Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown a relationship between vehicle accidents and the loss of visual acuity resulting from cataracts. It has also been found that older drivers with cataracts are 2.5 times more likely to be involved in a crash than those who do not have cataracts. However, past studies have not determined the level of cataract development required to affect a driver's performance. This study investigated the relationship between levels of cataract development and legibility of roadway signs at night. Subjects seated in a stationary vehicle on a simulated two-lane roadway, attempted to read seven yellow warning signs with black numerical legends. Signs with seven luminance levels, with and without opposing headlight glare were viewed at two viewing locations. The subjects included persons with no cataracts, early cataracts, visually significant cataracts, and persons who had their cataracts surgically removed. The study results show that subjects with early cataracts and significant cataracts identified fewer signs correctly for all sign luminance levels with and without glare present than did subjects with no cataracts and subjects who had their cataracts surgically removed. The study results suggest that a functional disability exists for drivers with early cataracts as well as developed cataracts when reading highway signs at night. This visual disability is more severe for low sign luminance levels. The results also suggest that surgical removal of cataracts returns a driver's performance to a level approximating that of an individual with no cataracts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ubiquitous nature of transport signs on roadways, railways, and in airports can lead to an overload of visual information, yet little research has been done to understand the design and use of such signs from a driver‘s perspective.

Download or read book Minimum Highway Sign Luminance Requirements for Older Drivers written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, the minimum amount of luminance required by older and younger drivers to identify a numerical legend on yellow warning signs at night was investigated. A field study was conducted for subjective and objective evaluation of seven yellow warning signs on a simulated two-way rural highway. The signs were prepared to have different retroreflectivity values thus providing different luminance values to the subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an urgent need to disseminate ergonomics "know-how" to the work place. This book meets that need by providing clear guidelines and problem solving recommendations to assist the practitioner in decisions that directly protect the health, safety and well-being of the worker.The guidelines have evolved from a series of symposia on Ergonomic Guidelines and Problem Solving. Initially experts in each area selected were asked to write draft guidelines. These guidelines were circulated to participants at the symposia and to other experts for review before being comprehensively revised. In some instances these guidelines cannot be considered complete but it is important now to put some recommendations forward as guidelines. It is hoped that as new research emerges each guideline will be updated.Each guideline has been divided into two parts. Part I contains the guidelines for the practitioner and Part II provides the scientific basis or the knowledge for the guide. Such separation of the applied and theoretical content was designed to facilitate rapid incorporation of the guide into practice.The target audience for this book is the practitioner. The practitioner may be a manager, production system designer, shop supervisor, occupational health and safety professional, union representative, labor inspector or production engineer. For each of the guidelines, relevant practitioners are described.Topics covered include work space design, tool design, work-rest schedules, illumination and maintenance.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book derives from a symposium conducted in San Francisco CA, entitled "Environmental Design for Optimum Vision in the Elderly" that was sponsored by the American Aging Association, October 11-12, 1985. Presentations from this symposium comprise the core content of this volume. However, manuscripts have also been accepted from additional authors whose topics and research findings increase the scope and goals of this volume. Previously unpublished data is found in several of the chapters. In addition new data and references have been incorporated at the end of chapters in order to provide a current update of the subject. The broad aims of the papers in this volume were to examine the effects of various environmental factors, long-term occupational hazards, and toxins on basic visual functions in relation to physiological, biochemical, morphological, and pathological alterations in the eye and visual pathways, and centers of the brain. As part of the more specific aims of this volume, the editors have provided the following framework for the specific topics included in this volume: I) Epidemiology, Clinical and Psychophysical Research, II) Ophthalmological, Biochemical, Physiological and Anatomical studies, and III) Environmental Hazards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When signage on a rural highway in Kansas was upgraded, the State received some comments that begged the question of whether modern highly reflective sign sheeting materials could, in some circumstances, actually decrease the legibility of signage, particularly for older drivers. Older drivers tend to have poorer visual acuity, requiring larger signs to provide the same legibility as found in a younger population. However, older drivers also tend to be more sensitive to glare and slower to recover from glare blindness. This study was conducted to determine if highly reflective sheeting could cause a reduction in sign legibility due to veiling glare, especially in older drivers. The test was conducted using 60 drivers in an actual automobile and full scale signs and distances. The data collection was conducted in a test facility where external factors could be eliminated, isolating the variables of greatest interest. Older drivers as a whole were found to exhibit poorer performance in terms of visual acuity and response time, but no detrimental effects attributable to glare were observed.

Download or read book Lighting for Driving: Roads, Vehicles, Signs, and Signals, Second Edition written by Peter Boyce and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vehicle, road, sign, and signal lighting are provided to enable drivers to reach their destinations quickly and safely. However, the attention given to how these forms of lighting function is likely to change as new technology is introduced and understanding of ergonomics and human factors improves. Lighting for Driving: Roads, Vehicle, Signs and Signals, Second Edition shows the crucial role lighting plays in road safety and examines how it could be used more effectively. With light-emitting diodes (LEDs) becoming the lighting source of choice for transport planners and vehicle designers, this book integrates information on road lighting, vehicle lighting, signs, and signals in one handy volume. International in scope and updated for this new edition, this book features lighting examples from the USA, the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Lighting in common vehicle types including cars, vans, trucks, and motorcycles is covered as well as the visibility of pedestrians and cyclists to drivers. Coverage extends to road lighting, traffic markings, vehicle designs, and internal lighting and weather conditions. Now fully updated, a final chapter looks at the future of lighting in relation to driving. The book will help the reader to understand how lighting systems on roads and vehicles work by explaining the thinking and scientific reasoning behind various forms of lighting and analyzing their contribution to the driver’s understanding of real and potential road hazards. This book will be an ideal read for ergonomists and engineers engaged in transport and road engineering, transport planners, civil engineers, vehicle designers, and electrical engineers.
