Abstract

Three different experiments were conducted for the purpose of comparing three methods of evaluating traffic sign perception while driving an automobile. The results indicated the three measurements of performance to be closely related. Sign were classified at a greater distance than they were identified. Performance was better on symbolic than on verbal signs, and it was better on warning than on regulatory signs.
