Using visual science to reduce the dangers of night driving

该项目旨在开发与现代夜间驾驶环境相关的新型视觉功能测试。夜间驾驶对所有司机来说都是具有挑战性的，而且在弱光条件下能见度很低。该项目将描述现代夜间驾驶环境的视觉挑战，开发包含夜间道路典型动态光照水平的视觉测试，并评估这些测试与夜间驾驶性能的关联。研究结果将有助于提供有关动态视觉处理和老化视觉系统的新知识，并将为视力测试、改善夜间驾驶视觉功能和减少夜间驾驶危险的潜在干预措施提供信息。

This project aims to develop novel tests of visual function relevant to the modern night driving environment. Night driving is challenging for all drivers and has been linked to poor visibility under low light conditions. This project will characterise the visual challenges of the modern night driving environment, develop visual tests that incorporate the dynamic light levels typical of night-time roads and assess the association of these tests with night driving performance. The outcomes will contribute new knowledge regarding dynamic visual processing and the ageing visual system and will inform vision testing, potential interventions to improve visual function for night driving and reduce the dangers of night driving.
