McCall, Robert and Schieber, Frank (2010): Validating the Effectiveness of Recursive Blur Enhancement of Symbol Signs using Static and Dynamic Protocols. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting 2010. pp. 2106-2109.

“Previous laboratory research has demonstrated that symbolic highway signs which have undergone the Recursive Blur Technique of visual enhancement exhibit significantly increased legibility distances over standard symbolic highway signs when using a critical detail identification task. This study sought to extend those findings to a new stimulus subset, and develop an identification task that is more conducive to a real-time (dynamic) driving environment. The effects of recursive blur enhancement on legibility distances were replicated using the critical detail identification task for both existing and novel stimuli, but the new holistic identification protocol proved to be an insensitive measure of the effect. Future research on this topic must be able to meet the temporal constraints posed by a dynamic driving environment without sacrificing the sensitivity of a detail-oriented identification protocol.”

Baldwin, Carryl L. and Schieber, Frank (1995): Dual-Task Assessment of Age Differences in Mental Workload with Implications for Driving. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 167-171.

“Older drivers constitute the fastest growing segment of the driving population, in terms of both number of drivers and number of miles driven. Accident analyses reveal that older drivers are not able to fully compensate for emerging reductions in perceptual/cognitive capacity. Establishment of a method of assessing older drivers with perceptual/cognitive impairments which place them at risk of accidents is imperative. In this investigation, a subsidiary task of mental arithmetic was demonstrated to be sensitive to age differences in relative mental workload resulting from increased steering task complexity in a simulated driving task. As steering task difficulty increased, verbal response latency to concurrent mental arithmetic problems increased for older, but not younger, participants. Steering error remained stable across single and dual task conditions indicating that the secondary mental arithmetic task did not interfere with steering (primary task) performance. These results provide preliminary support for the use of this assessment technique outside of the laboratory in actual driving situations.”

Schieber, Frank and Kline, Donald W. (1994): Age Differences in the Legibility of Symbol Highway Signs as a Function of Luminance and Glare Level: A Preliminary Report. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 133-136.

“Three experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of adult aging upon the legibility of simulated symbol highway signs. Each experiment employed a different set of lighting conditions: (1) daytime luminance, (2) nighttime luminance, and (3) nighttime luminance with glare. Young (ages 18-25) and middle-aged (ages 40-55) observers demonstrated small reductions in legibility when luminance was reduced from daytime to nighttime levels. However, older (ages 65-79) observers demonstrated marked losses in legibility distance with reductions in sign luminance. The introduction of a glare source (equivalent to approaching automobile headlights at 30 m) reduced sign legibility distance for the older observers but had no deleterious effects upon their young and middle-aged counterparts. The relative magnitude of the observed age, luminance and glare effects appeared to be equivalent across all signs examined.”

Schieber, Frank (1994): Age and Glare Recovery Time for Low-Contrast Stimuli. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 496-499.

“The purpose of this study was to obtain a rigorous experimental estimate of the time required to recover from the deleterious effects of glare. Low contrast test stimuli were employed to increase the potential sensitivity of the procedure. Multiple age groups were sampled since susceptibility to glare effects is known to increase with advancing years. Glare recovery time assessments were collected from 12 young, 12 middle-aged and 16 older adults. Subjects were presented with 10 sec exposures to an intense glare source under highly controlled experimental conditions. Upon the offset of the glare exposure period, the time required to regain sensitivity for low contrast test stimuli was measured. Relative to their younger counterparts, older subjects required 3-times longer to recover from glare exposure. These findings suggest that the dynamic components of glare effects must be considered when designing environments -- especially where older observers are involved.”
