Static Conditions

The perception of road curves by car drivers was studied in a simulated driving situation. The purpose was to investigate how planting structures along the road would affect the distance at which the curve was clearly perceived by novices and by experienced subjects, respectively. Subjects rated the clarity of the curve percept in different situations on a nominal scale from 1 to 7. Estimations were made under static conditions at the distances 0 m, 100 m, and 200 m before the beginning of the curve. The critical point for a clear percept was found to be at 100 m for novices and at 200 m for experienced drivers. The planting conditions made no difference.

Blood Alcohol Levels

Two experiments were performed to determine the effects of alcohol and marihuana on visual scanning patterns in a simulated driving situation. In the first experiment 27 male heavy drinkers were divided into three groups of nine, defined by three blood alcohol levels produced by alcohol treatment: 0.0%, 0.075%, and 0.15% BAC's. Significant changes in visual search behavior including increased dwell duration, decreased dwell frequency, and increased pursuit duration and frequency were found under alcohol. In the second experiment, 10 male social users of marihuana were tested under both 0 mcg and 200 mcg tetrahydrocannabinol per kilogram bodyweight. Marihuana was found to have no effect on visual search behavior. The results are related to previous studies of alcohol and marihuana effects on information processing.
