Sessions will be devoted to a variety of topics including but not limited to:
• Visual function and assessment; vision impairment; driver safety and
performance; visual processing; visual attention; and driving tasks.
• The auto industry’s response to the visual challenges faced by all drivers.
• Human factors and design issues relevant to the driver, roadway and vehicle.
• Policies that address vision and driving; driver assessment and licensure; and
rehabilitation strategies for the visually impaired driver specialists.
Congress Objectives
At the end of the three-day world congress attendees will:
• Receive updates about the role of autonomous vehicles in a sightimpaired
world.
• Appreciate “vision” including its range of abilities and challenges.
• Learn how vision, cognitive impairment, age, crash avoidance systems, glare,
ergonomics, auto design, safer highways, road signs, driver distraction all
impact safe driving.
• Be able to assess more accurately which types of visual problems make any
real difference to drivers.
• Have an enhanced understanding of research methods used to study vision
and driving.
• Differentiate which types of visual aids (i.e. bioptic lenses, night driving
systems) and other interventions can extend a driver’s ability in visually
compromised individuals.

“I found the meeting to be very
informative and enjoyable. Drawing
from a wide range of disciplines who
all applied their expertise to the central
theme of vision and driving provided
a dynamic and very useful ‘feel’ to the
meeting. The mix of speakers from
industry as well as academia was also
very successful and provided a broad
perspective to the meeting.”
— Joanne Wood, PhD, Queensland University of
Technology, Brisbane, Australia
