The differential effect of vibrotactile and auditory cues on visual spatial attention

Article Abstract:

A study investigated whether the facilitation of driver responses to driving events seen through the windscreen or the rearview mirror by presenting spatially predictive auditory and vibrotactile warning signals lead to the priming of the suitable response or an attentional cuing effect. Findings reveal that although the attentional facilitation effects help when the signals and the target are in the same direction, they might also require the co-location of the cue and target within the same functional space region.

An evaluation of a lane support system for bus rapid transit on narrow shoulders and the relation to bus driver mental workload

Article Abstract:

The bus driver's mental workload and stress due to navigating a bus rapid transit (BRT) in bus shoulders is of major concern for operational safety as well as his health. The role of a lane support system (LSS) seems to be a viable technological solution to safely and comfortably support BRT services in navigating narrow bus shoulders and also in anticipating traffic hazards in adjacent lanes.
