Effect of target contrast and divided attention on the useful field of view
2022, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :The contrast of targets could affect one’s ability to segregate objects from the background or other objects. Reduced contrast has been shown to impair many real-world tasks, including driving (Decina & Staplin, 1993; Emerson et al., 2012; Ginsburg, 2003). A number of environmental conditions common in driving, such as disability glare, fog, dust, and smoke, can create conditions with very low contrast (Boyce, 2009), as does most night-time driving (Leibowitz & Owens, 1977; Leibowitz, Owens, & Tyrrell, 1998).
A roadmap for interpreting the literature on vision and driving
2015, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Associations between vision impairment in older drivers and MVCs tend to be stronger when at-fault MVCs are the outcome measure compared with when all MVCs are used.24,73 The vision and driving literature, however, is replete with studies using all MVCs, regardless of fault, as the outcome measure.11,29,47,89,90,103 This is the preference of many investigators because MVCs are rare events, and thus utilizing all MVCs instead of at-fault MVCs increases the number of outcome events.
Quantifying age-related differences in visual-discrimination capacity: Drivers with and without visual impairment
2013, Applied ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :The test most frequently used in the clinic to predict visual function is the measurement of visual acuity; however, in visual functions, there are other factors that can affect traffic safety, such as contrast sensitivity, dark adaptation, colour vision, glare sensitivity, and visual field (Mäntyjärvi and Tuppurainen, 1999; Mäntyjärvi et al., 1999; Rogé and Pébayle, 2009; Van Rijn et al., 2011). It has been recommended that a contrast-sensitivity test be added for driver's license testing in older people (Decina and Staplin, 1993). However, psychophysical tests are time consuming and constitute a difficult task for older people.
Evaluation of screening tests for predicting older driver performance and safety assessed by an on-road test
2013, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Considerable work has been devoted to identifying the optimal tests for predicting driving performance and safety. Age-related changes in visual function, particularly reductions in visual acuity (Burg, 1967; Higgins and Wood, 2005; Owens et al., 2007), contrast sensitivity (Decina and Staplin, 1993), and visual field loss (Johnson and Keltner, 1983; Wood et al., 2009) have been associated with driving ability and crash risk in older adults. In addition, a range of cognitive abilities that decline with older age have been found to be relevant to safe driving, including executive function (Daigneault et al., 2002), and visual attention as measured with the Useful Field of View test (Ball and Owsley, 1993).
