| 摘要： | Daytime conspicuity of targets with fluorescent and nonfluorescent backgrounds as a function of the peripheral angle and the target size was investigated in the field. The resulting peripheral detection and recognition data may prove relevant to, for example, a bicyclist or a pedestrian approaching a driver at an intersection from a side street, or to a construction worker approaching a driver in a road construction site. Two groups of nine young, healthy subjects were used. White, blue, green, red, fluorescent red, fluorescent yellow-green, yellow, fluorescent yellow, orange, and fluorescent orange were presented at peripheral angles to the right of the line of sight. The targets were presented at a radial distance of 30 m (100 ft) from the front bumper of the car at the selected peripheral angle. The subjects were seated in a stationary car and the targets were visible for 2 sec. Each subject provided a total of 180 observations. The results of this study indicate that the fluorescent color targets (especially the fluorescent yellow-green) were considerably better-detected peripherally than their nonfluorescent counterparts. Furthermore, for some peripheral angles fluorescent yellow-green was among the top three best recognized colors. On the basis of the results of this study, it may be concluded tentatively that to maximize daytime conspicuity for peripheral detection and recognition, highly conspicuous fluorescent colors such as fluorescent yellow-green, along with a fairly large target size, should be selected. It appears that however conspicuous a color is alone, if the target is too small for the visual angle subtended, the color will not be well detected or recognized, especially at larger peripheral viewing angles. |
