Human Factors, Simulation and Performance Assessment

Foreword, Stephane Espie. Part I Setting the Stage: Motorcycle Safety and Conspicuity: PTW crashes and the role of perception, Zoi Christoforou, George Yannis, John Golias and Peter Saleh Psychological factors in seeing motorcycles, Vanessa Beanland, Michael G. Lenne and Lars Rossger Mechanisms underpinning conspicuity, Geoff Underwood. Part II Case Studies Focusing on Visual Saliency and Conspicuity Treatments: How conspicuity influences drivers' attention and manoeuvring decisions, Geoff Underwood, Editha van Loon and Katherine Humphrey 'Should I stay or should I go?' Examining the effect of various conspicuity treatments on drivers' turning performance, Eve Mitsopoulos-Rubens and Michael G. Lenne Design studies on improved frontal light configurations for powered two-wheelers and testing in laboratory experiments, Lars Rossger, Jens Krzywinski, Frank Muhlbauer and Bernhard Schlag Visual factors affecting motorcycle conspicuity: effects of car daytime-running lights and motorcycle headlight design, Viola Cavallo and Maria Pinto. Part III Case Studies with Additional Focus on Top-Down Influences: Is the poor visibility of motorcycles related to their low sensory and cognitive conspicuity or to the limited useful visual field of car drivers?, Joceline Roge and Fabrice Vienne Can drivers' expectations and behaviour around motorcycles be influenced by exposure?, Vanessa Beanland, Michael G. Lenne and Geoff Underwood Powered two-wheelers' conspicuity: the effects of visual context and awareness, Pnina Gershon and David Shinar. Part IV Implications Drawn from the Case Studies: Summarised assessment of the results on motorcycle conspicuity, Lars Rossger, Michael G. Lenne and Stephane Espie. Index.
