Abstract

For the instrument panel designer, good visibility means providing clear, legible, and easy-to-understand instruments and controls free from obstructions, shadows and inadequate lighting. In particular this study dealt with measuring in a quantitative manner the readability of letter patterns used on instruments, controls and indicators. The study deals with the effects of such diverse factors as driver age, illumination, and letter size on a driver's perception time.
