Staff believes that the subjects did not detect the bicycle target until the vehicle was close<br />
enough to illuminate the mannequin and bicycle. At that time, the subject immediately recognized<br />
the object as a bicyclist. Staff believes that the 15-20 degree viewing angle between the driver<br />
and bicycle and the background visual noise in this simulation contributed to the low detection<br />
and recognition results. However, these conditions would be typical of many real street crossing<br />
situations.<br />
