ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SUMMARY OF RESEARCH NEEDS IN THE HUMAN FACTORS ASPECTS OF DRIVER VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS

THIS REPORT PRESENTS A LITERATURE SURVEY, SUMMARIZES THE PERTINENT WORK RELATED TO THIS PROJECT AND GIVES APPROPRIATE RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED THERETO. THIS EFFORT COVERS TWO MAIN AREAS: (1) VISUAL INPUT REQUIREMENTS IN THE DRIVING TASK, AND (2) HUMAN INFORMATION-PROCESSING CAPABILITY IN COMPLEX TASKS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THESE TWO AREAS OVERLAP IN THAT PART OF THE VISUAL INPUTS BECOME INFORMATION WHICH THE OPERATOR MAY HAVE TO PROCESS. (MANY INPUTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE DRIVER. WHICH ONES DOES HE ACCEPT FOR PROCESSING? WHICH ONES DOES HE DISCARD?) IT IS, THEREFORE, MORE CONVENIENT TO TREAT THESE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER UNDER THE HEADING, "A VISUAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN THE DRIVER AND HIS ENVIRONMENT." THIS IS THE APPROACH TAKEN IN THIS REPORT. /AUTHOR/
