Abstract

Field and laboratory experiments provide good evidence that luminous conditions on the road may modify the visual performance of the driver and his ocular strategy. It can be suggested that part of the driver's central fatigue is in fact of peripheral origin and derives from the necessity to overcome visual strain. It is the reason why research workers should not forget visual afferences (input) in their studies on fatigue on the road.
