This book is based on the proceedings of the Fifth International
Conference on Vision in Vehicles. The aim of the conference series
is to enable international researchers from different disciplines
to meet and exchange ideas on the current state-of-the-art of all
aspects related to vehicles and vehicle controllers. This is
perceived as encompassing the internal and external design of a
vehicle, the environment in which vehicles move, as well as the
visual, perceptual and cognitive limitations of the vehicle
controller. All types of vehicles (including underground mining
vehicles, helicopters, trains and motorcycles) are considered,
though the majority of papers deal with automobiles and their
drivers.
The conference keynote address Automated Highways: A Vision of
the Future, which was presented by John Bloomfield, set the tone
for the meeting. The proceedings, as contained in this volume,
begin in a similar vein with chapters considering Simulation
Studies of Driver Performance, followed by a section on Visual
Processing and Collision Avoidance. Cognitive issues are addressed
in several chapters detailing recent work on Cognitive Aspects of
Visual Information Processing.
The growing use of information technology is covered in two
subsequent sections concerning firstly, the Visual Requirements of
In-Vehicle Guidance Systems and secondly, Driver Support Systems.
Environmental factors are discussed in a separate section, as is
driver's own visual impairment. The final section concerns Arousal
and Performance and discusses alcohol effects on driving
ability.
Vision in Vehicles V, with contributions by experts from a
diverse range of disciplines, including optometrists,
psychologists, physiologists, human factors specialists and
engineers, will undoubtedly stimulate the progression of research
in this area.
