Description

An integrated approach to the problems of vision and vehicle control is presented in this volume. Visual information must be provided to a vehicle controller in a manner which ensures rapid assimilation and interpretation. The internal vehicle layout, visual displays, windscreens, and environment must be designed with due consideration to the capabilities and limitations of the vehicle controller. The conference set out to encompass all aspects of vision, in its widest sense, as related to automobiles, trucks, trains, ships, and military vehicles.
