Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Llewellyn, R., & Ladyman, S. (2016). Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents. In Proceedings of 11th ITS European Congress

In-vehicle distraction is often the subject of debate in relation to road safety. Distractions outside of the vehicle, however, are often overlooked. Both situations result in cognitive capture, a form of 'Inattentional Blindness'. This paper investi...
