  • More about Photoecological Conditions of Human Visual Attention in Transport: Theory and Research

The book discusses visual attention in different lighting conditions, such as during the day, dusk, and nighttime, and how it affects transportation safety. The experimental part focuses on visual attention issues, stimulus detection times, and object identification during simulated flight.

Format: Hardback
Length: 264 pages

Publisher: Peter Lang AG


The book delves into the intricate challenges of visual attention in diverse lighting conditions, encompassing the tasks of operators in air and road transport throughout the day, at dusk, and even during nighttime. The day presents the optimal environment for the transportation of individuals, while night, and to a certain extent, dusk, introduce obstacles in perceiving objects and pose risks to security. Consequently, the experimental section of the book concentrates on fundamental issues of visual attention in dynamic brightness scenarios, such as attention shifting, its intentionality, and the mechanisms of inhibition. It also explores visual search processes and examines stimulus detection times and the efficiency of object identification during simulated flight, taking into account the characteristics of stimuli and the assessment of aircraft position at night and at dusk, both under daylight conditions and when utilizing night vision goggles.

Day provides the best condition for transporting people.

Night, and to some extent dusk, causes difficulties in perceiving objects and threatens the level of security.

Therefore, the experimental part focuses on the basic problems of visual attention under conditions of changing brightness, such as attention shifting, its intentionality and inhibition process and visual search.

Stimulus detection times and the efficiency of object identification during simulated flight are also examined, depending on their characteristics and the assessment of aircraft position at night and at dusk, under daytime conditions and when using goggles night vision.
