Exploring the road safety benefits of direct vision
Project Purpose & Aims
- Provide empirical research to address a research-gap around understanding the potential benefits of seeing vulnerable road users directly as opposed to indirectly i.e. through mirrors
- Improve understanding of visual processing of information in a driving context
- Establish the extent to which increased direct vision could reduce driver reaction times
- Reduce the number of near misses and collisions between HGVs and vulnerable road users
