To test the low sensory conspicuity hypothesis, the authors studied the effect of the color contrast between motorcycles and the road surface on the ability of car drivers to detect motorcycles when they appear from different parts of the road.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: A high level of color contrast enhanced the visibility of motorcycles when they appeared in front of the participants. Moreover, when motorcyclists appeared from behind the participants, the motorcyclist motorists detected oncoming motorcycles at a greater distance than did the non\u2013motorcyclist motorists. Motorcyclist motorists carry out more saccades and rapidly capture information (on their rearview mirrors and on the road in front of them).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: The results related to the sensory conspicuity and cognitive conspicuity of motorcycles for car drivers are discussed from the viewpoint of visual attention theories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Application: The practical implications of these results and future lines of research related to training methods for car drivers are considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0018720811427033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,29]],"date-time":"2011-12-29T22:56:19Z","timestamp":1325199379000},"page":"14-25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Low Conspicuity of Motorcycles for Car Drivers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Joceline","family":"Rog\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Fran\u00e7ais des Sciences et Technologies des Transports, de l\u2019Am\u00e9nagement et des R\u00e9seaux, Bron, France"}]},{"given":"Evgueni","family":"Douissembekov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Fran\u00e7ais des Sciences et Technologies des Transports, de l\u2019Am\u00e9nagement et des R\u00e9seaux, Bron, France"}]},{"given":"Fabrice","family":"Vienne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Fran\u00e7ais des Sciences et Technologies des Transports, de l\u2019Am\u00e9nagement et des R\u00e9seaux, Bron, France"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0018720811427033","volume-title":"Motorcycle Accidents In-Depth Study","author":"Association of European Motorcycle Manufacturers","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr2-0018720811427033","volume-title":"A review of the \u201clook but failed to see\u201d accident causation factor","author":"Brown I.
