SPR-4920: Three-dimensional Visibility and Legibility Zone and Human Information Processing of Arrow Boards on Truck-Mounted Attenuator (TMA) Trucks

The study aims to optimize the visibility and legibility of arrow boards on Truck-Mounted Attenuator (TMA) trucks to improve work zone safety. Project deliverables include: (1) A progress report to summarize the three-dimensional visibility and legibility zone of arrow boards on TMA trucks and its influencing factors. (2) An evaluation report of countermeasures to improve the visibility and legibility of arrow boards on TMA trucks. (3) The optimal countermeasure and the relationships between the three‐dimensional visibility and legibility zone and human information processing of drivers. (4) A final report documenting all findings and recommendations.
