Download or read book Do Peripheral HUD Warnings Affect Driving Ability written by Abram J. Knarr and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Heads Up Display (HUD) technologies are being developed to assist drivers and reduce safety hazards. The current study used the Lane Change Task (LCT) and a Peripheral Detection Task (PDT) divided into high and low workload tracks to assess effects of employing a HUD to alert drivers to moving objects in their periphery that are possible hazards. The intent of the current study was to determine whether visual warnings displayed in either color, flashing, or color and flashing formats, would improve detection of moving stimuli without adversely impacting driving ability. Results indicated that the PDT had no significant effect on LCT performance. However, significant main effects of warning format and workload on reaction times, false alarm rates, and sensitivity were obtained. Performance on the PDT task was best when the warnings were non-flashing and yellow, especially in the low workload condition. Explanations of performance on both tasks are discussed.

Book excerpt: To design automotive head up displays, the extent to which HUDs interfere with detection of elements of the road scene (other vehicles, edge markings, signs, etc.) as a function of HUD location needs to be determined. In this experiment, 24 subjects sat in a driving simulator and watched a videotape of a real road. To encourage them to scan the road as they would while actively driving, subjects pressed a key whenever they detected predetermined events in the road scene (passing cars, tail lights of a leading vehicle, road signs on the right edge of the road). In addition, subjects pressed a key when an amber-colored warning triangle appeared on the HUD at one of 15 locations. Response times to HUD warning, and to a lesser extent, detection probability, varied with warning location. The mean response times ranged from 842 ms to 1390 ms. The fastest response time was obtained at 5 degrees to the right of the center. The detection probability for most locations (12 of 15) was 0.97 or higher. The HUD task did not significantly interfere with road event detection. Response times to car signals increased from 1175 ms to 1260 ms when the HUD task was added, and the detection probability did not change when the HUD task was added. The corner locations were perceived by many subjects to be worse than central locations, and they disliked the center location and the lower center. If one location were chosen, it would be located 5 degrees right or left of the center.

Download or read book Advances in Human Factors and Systems Interaction written by Isabel L. Nunes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on cutting-edge research into innovative system interfaces, highlighting both lifecycle development and human–technology interaction, especially in virtual, augmented and mixed-reality systems. It describes advanced methodologies and tools for evaluating and improving interface usability and discusses new models, as well as case studies and good practices. The book addresses the human, hardware, and software factors in the process of developing interfaces for optimizing total system performance, particularly innovative computing technologies for teams dealing with dynamic environments, while minimizing total ownership costs. It also highlights the forces currently shaping the nature of computing and systems, including the need for decreasing hardware costs; the importance of portability, which translates to the modern tendency toward hardware miniaturization and technologies for reducing power requirements; the necessity of a better assimilation of computation in the environment; and social concerns regarding access to computers and systems for people with special needs. The book, which is based on the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Human Factors and Systems Interaction, held on July 21–25, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, offers a timely survey and practice-oriented guide for systems interface users and developers alike.

Download or read book Creating Defensible Space written by Oscar Newman and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appearance of Oscar Newman's Defensible SpaceÓ in 1972 signaled the establishment of a new criminological subdiscipline that has come to be called by many Crime Prevention Through Environmental DesignÓ or CPTED. Over the years, Mr. Newman's ideas have proven to have significant merit in helping the Nation's citizens reclaim their urban neighborhoods. This casebook will assist public & private organizations with the implementation of Defensible Space theory. This monograph draws directly from Mr. Newman's experience as consulting architect.

Download or read book A Cognitive Approach to Situation Awareness Theory and Application written by Sébastien Tremblay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of 'situation awareness' (SA) in assessing and predicting operator competence in complex environments has become increasingly apparent in recent years. It has been widely established that SA is a contributing factor to many commercial and military accidents and incidents. Yet determining exactly what constitutes SA is a very difficult task, given the complexity of the construct itself, and the many different processes involved with its acquisition and maintenance. This volume brings together recent developments from researchers and practitioners from around the world who are studying and applying SA from a cognitive perspective. The 41 contributors represent many different theoretical perspectives, research approaches and domains of application. Each chapter has a primary emphasis around one of three main topics - theory, measurement and application and examines the considerable inter-linkage between them. To bring further coherence to the book, all of the contributors received draft manuscripts of those chapters most relevant to their own. Designed to be completely international and interdisciplinary, the authors themselves present varied perspectives from academic departments and industrial organisations from around the world, and from broad applications - with contributions from researchers in the domains of process control, sport, aviation, transportation, and command and control. The readership includes practitioners, academics and researchers within human factors, ergonomics and industrial psychology; Graduate and Undergraduate students specialising within these areas during their final year.

Book excerpt: Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
