edinburg2015 26aThe results of the Viewpointsystem viewing analyses show significant visual-physiological differences in the viewing behaviour and the viewing strategy between the elderly, children or adolescents and grown-up “business people”. The visualisation videos objectively show the viewing strategy of participants with respect to potential restrictions in movement or medical impairments. In cases where multiple factors occur at the same time, a compensation for information overload is impossible, and the accident risk increases considerably. The results of objective viewing visualisations can be used directly by certified experts for the analysis of accident causes and accident contexts. Additionally, the results of the Viewpointsystem viewing analyses should be used in risk awareness training.
