Abstract

The study involved (1) the determination of the frequency of mirror usage by subjects in traffic manoeuvres using their own cars and the associated extent of head turn during mirror usage, (2) the measurement of peripheral detection angles (PDA) as a function of target contrast, target speed, foveal attentional load, eye and head position and subject age in laboratory simulation, and (3) field validation studies.
