ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS =09
The Seventh International Conference on Vision in Vehicles will be run in
conjunction with the Applied Vision Association, the Ergonomics Society and
the Association of Optometrists. This meeting is run with the
participation of INRETS (Institut National de Recherche sur les Transports
et leur Securite). This highly successful conference series was established
in 1985.
Vision is of paramount importance in vehicle control and visual information
must be presented in a way that can be rapidly assimilated. This
multi-disciplinary conference will provide an international forum for the
exchange of information on current research encompassing all aspects of
vision and its relationship to vehicle design. This includes both the
internal and external design of the vehicle as well as the perceptual and
cognitive capabilities and limitations of the vehicle controller.
The scope of the conference will cover all types of vehicles (e.g. cars,
trucks, trains, aircraft, helicopters, ships, military vehicles) where the
task involves monitoring both in-vehicle displays and the surrounding visual
environment in both day and night-time conditions. The conference will
therefore be of interest to vehicle and instrument designers from any of the
above industries, psychologists, ergonomists, ophthalmologists,
optometrists, highway engineers, traffic planners, lighting engineers,
legislators and anyone concerned with safety in vehicles.
