Traffic Accident and Color Vision

[Smog and traffic accident].

Some measures to counter car accident have been taken from various angels in recent times, while their epidemiological consideration has not sufficiently been given. The presentation here is a study on the latter problem. Three elements have to be taken into account when car accident is to be investigated epidemiologically; first, car traffic itself, secondly what is related to main constituent...

Validity of clinical color vision tests for air traffic control.

BACKGROUND An experiment on the relationship between aeromedical color vision screening test performance and performance on color-dependent tasks of Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCS) was replicated to expand the database supporting the job-related validity of 13 FAA-accepted screening tests. METHODS The original experiment (10) (n = 108), and the replication (n = 136) involved a total of...

Traffic Accident Simulation And Animation

The objective of this research is to present a methodology to supplement the conventional traffic safety analysis techniques. This methodology aims at using computer simulation to animate and visualize accident occurrence at high-risk locations. It aids into developing the appropriate safety countermeasures for high-risk locations (e.g., intersections, curves, ramps). A computer accident simula...

Color-Vision and Color-Blindness

Special public attention was called to the subject in 1875 by an enquiry into the causes of a railway accident which had taken place in Sweden, from which it appears that colourblindness was the cause of the disaster. Our author having described colour-sensations, goes on to discuss the theories of colour-perception and colour-blindness, classifying the latter defect as total and partial. Total...
