Abstract:

PUBLISHED RESEARCH REPORTS FOR 10 YEARS WERE SYSTEMATICALLY SEARCHED FOR STUDIES OF FACTORS AFFECTING HIGHWAY SIGN EFFECTIVENESS. ATTENTION GAINING CHARACTERISTIC PROVED TO HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY LITTLE STUDIED COMPARED TO LEGIBILITY, BUT WERE INDICATED TO BE OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE. ANALYSIS OF THE DRIVING TASK INDICATES THE IMPORTANCE OF MULTIPLE RESPONSE TASKS IN MEASURING ATTENTION GAINING CHARACTERISTICS. FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE LATTER IS PLANNED. /AUTHOR/
