Railroad-Highway Crossings, Visibility, and Human Factors
The 12 papers deal with the following areas: predicting target-detection distance with headlights; luminance and contrast for sign legibility and color recognition; effect of illumination on rural at-grade intersection accidents; evaluation of high-intensity sheeting for overhead highway signs; indirect factors affecting reflective sign brightness; overhead signs without external illumination; review of needs of users of ride quality technology; comparison of driver dynamics with actual and simulated visual displays; effectiveness of automatic warning devices in reducing accidents at grade crossings; passive control at railroad-highway grade crossings; investigation of accident data for railroad-highway grade crossings and driver reaction to improved warning devices at a rural grade crossing.
