Abstract

The goal of the current experiment was to study the effect of the partial restriction of visibility from an industrial vehicle in zones where visual information is sought, on the steering of the vehicle, driving speed, and the capability of predicting the movement of a pedestrian ready to cross in front of the vehicle. The results showed the existence of a systematic strategy for gathering visual information in the lower portion of the visual field in the presence of horizontal masks. The zone of visibility about 10 degrees below the driver's eye-level must be kept clear.
