Driver assist technologies have reached the tipping point and are poised to take control of most, if not all, aspects driving task. Proponents automated (AD) enthusiastic about its promise transform mobility realize impressive societal benefits. This paper is an attempt carefully examine potential AD safety benefits, challenge widely-held assumptions delve more deeply into barriers that hitherto largely overlooked. As vehicle (AV) advance emerge within a ubiquitous cyber-physical world they...
This study examined the inter-observer reliability and validity of Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) as a measure depressive symptomatology in stroke patients, its utility screening tool depression this population. The CES-D is brief questionnaire originally designed use community surveys. Twenty-seven non-aphasic patients enrolled Stroke Data Bank at University Maryland were interviewed by research nurse using CES-D. On same day, each patient was independently...
A field study was conducted to evaluate drivers' actual headways in car-following situations, their relationship the brake reaction times, and ability estimate those using different metrics. Drivers were asked maintain "minimum safe distance" "comfortable, normal distance with no intention pass" behind car ahead. The lead speeds varied from 50 100 km/hr. results showed that under both sets of instructions, drivers adjusted relation speed, maintaining constant time headways. significant...
Eye movements and fixations of five drivers were recorded superimposed on a videotaped recording the dynamic visual scene as they drove two-lane rural road. The results showed that (1) curved roads, fixation pattern follows road geometry, whereas straight search behavior is less active, most are close to focus expansion. indicate in driving through curves direct foveal lateral placement cues rather than rely peripheral vision; (2) process curve scanning begins approach zone prior itself,...
Many new in-vehicle systems focus on accident prevention by facilitating the driving task. One such aid is an collision avoidance warning system (IVCAWS), used to alert driver impending collision. Our study evaluated effects of imperfect IVCAWS both headway maintenance and behavior in response errors. results showed that drivers tend overestimate their consequently drive with short potentially dangerous headways, IVCAWSs are a useful tool for educating estimate more accurately. Moreover, our...
This 2-part study focuses on eye movements to explain driving-related visual performance in younger and older persons. In the first task, participants' were monitored as they viewed a traffic scene image with numeric overlay visually located numbers their sequential order. The results showed that participants had significantly longer search episodes than participants, of adults was characterized by more fixations shorter saccades, although average fixation durations remained same. second...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the comprehension levels highway traffic sign symbols used in different countries, identify underlying rules that affect levels, and recommend approaches deal with problem. need for such an evaluation based on today's travel culture where people are often licensed one country then drive—without any further training—in another country. We compared four countries moderate high motorization: Canada, Finland, Israel, Poland. Five driver populations...
Objective: This research directly tests the relationship between comprehension probability of highway signs and extent to which they comply with three ergonomic principles design: sign-content compatibility, familiarity, standardization. Background: A recent study that evaluated traffic in four different countries showed level varies widely is apparently related sign's design incorporates guidelines for good (D. Shinar, R. E. Dewar, H. Summala, & L. Zakowska 2003). Method: Participants...
• Interobserver reliability in obtaining neurologic histories and examinations was investigated among neurologists collaborating the Stroke Data Bank (SDB). Seventeen in-hospital stroke patients were examined by six experienced over course of three days. Patients twice a day for two successive days, with each patient seen four different neurologists. recorded on SDB forms, according to definitions procedures established SDB. Percent agreement κ coefficients calculated assess levels item....
