Factors influencing the efficiency of traffic perception
things that can have an impact in the context of human behaviour on the road:
1) Previous experience: An experienced driver may pick up on subtle patterns (micro-signals) that a beginner may not notice, such as unfamiliar vibrations in the movement of a nearby car, which may indicate a loss of control.
2) Emotional state: Negative emotions such as anxiety or anger can narrow the field of attention (the “tunnel vision” effect), reducing the completeness of perception.
3) Biological and cognitive factors: Poor vision, aging, or delayed cognitive processing can lead to misjudging speed or distance.
4) Distractions: cell phone use or lively conversations that lead to poor situational awareness.
