Visibility and Collision
Avoidance |
The opportunity for a driver
to avoid a collision with another object is one
of the most common analyses HRYCAY is asked to
carry out. To provide an opinion in this regard,
one must first understand the point at which the
object of concern becomes detectable and then
discernible.
Full-scale studies are most
often carried out in order to understand the
subtleties of a scene. Environmental and
lighting conditions, vehicle(s) involved and
objects present must also be considered in
detail in conjunction with approach paths and
speeds to understand the situation being
confronted by a motorist. |
|
Once all matters associated with the driver's
approach are understood, the human factor issues
of perception and reaction are accounted for,
and the ability for the vehicle to be slowed or
steered are determined, we can often render
hypothetical opinions on collision avoidance
potential.
