New ideas on how drivers perceive speed emerge from the fog
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiments with a driving simulator contradict previous results by showing that car drivers slow down in fog. However, other forms of reduced visibility can cause drivers to speed up.

Driving in fog: the effects of driving experience and visibility on speed compensation and hazard avoidance.
Inexperience is one of the strongest predictors for collisions, but it remains unclear how novice drivers differ from experienced drivers in terms of safety-related behavioural adaptations such as speed reduction in the presence of reduced visibility. To investigate the influence of driving experience on behavioural compensations to fog, average speed, speed variability, steering variability, c...
متن کاملImproving the Ability of Drivers to Avoid Collisions with Snowplows in Fog and Snow
The goal of this work is to understand how the processing of motion under the conditions created by blowing snow causes drivers to fail to detect that they are approaching a vehicle ahead. Color was examined under blowing snow conditions to assess whether an equiluminant (equal brightness) situation was created. In this situation, contrast in light level is not detected but differences in color...
متن کاملThe Determination of Social Needs as Drivers of Social Innovation
Social innovation has been contextualized as a new way of resolving deeply entrenched development issues. The identification and resolution of social needs is said to be the driving force of social innovation. With features such as sustainability and scalability, social innovation has the potential to change the way we perceive and engage with development in the future. This research takes a cr...
متن کاملFoggy perception slows us down
Visual speed is believed to be underestimated at low contrast, which has been proposed as an explanation of excessive driving speed in fog. Combining psychophysics measurements and driving simulation, we confirm that speed is underestimated when contrast is reduced uniformly for all objects of the visual scene independently of their distance from the viewer. However, we show that when contrast ...
متن کاملعوامل خطر وقوع صدمات ناشی از تصادفهای ترافیکی در رانندگان جادهی قزوین ـ لوشان، سال 1384
Background & Objectives: Considering the lack of adequate basic information on risk factors for road traffic injuries in Iran, a study was conducted to determine the association between potential risk factors and the incidence of injuries in motor vehicle drivers. Methods: We performed a population-based case-control study on Qazvin-Loshan road. Risk factors related to injury incidence were...
