THE ROLE OF VISION AND AUDITION IN TRUCK AND BUS DRIVING

A systematic analysis was made of the visual and auditory requirement of commercial carrier driving, based upon a review of the scientific literature, a detailed examination of the driving task, and observations of and interviews with qualified drivers. As a result of this analysis, new visual performance measures dealing with perception of motion and dynamic performance of the total visual system were identified as important to driving. A device was designed and constructed that provided the capability of testing performance on these new visual performance parameters as well as on selected conventional measures.
