FIELD STUDY OF VIGILANCE UNDER HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS

Abstract

The research described in the present Research Rote was specifically designed to (1) examine the general level of signal detection performanceof AASHO drivers and to determine the nature and extent of any decrement in vigilance over a driving shift, and (2) to examine the range andstability of individual differences in signal detection and to estimate the reliability of the vigilance test scores. Additionally, the studypermitted evaluation of the usefulness of specially constructed apparatus to measure signal detection performance.
