Forensic Human Factors

Human factors research framed for legal use: visibility and conspicuity analysis, perception-reaction time, crash reconstruction, and expert testimony method.

What's here. Work oriented toward litigation and testimony: visibility_analysis_litigation and conspicuity_in_litigation, perception_reaction_time values and how they are measured and cited, crash_reconstruction_hf where driver behavior is reconstructed for a specific event, and expert_witness_methodology on admissibility, disclosure, and analytical practice.

What isn't here.

• laboratory studies of perception-action coupling and locomotor control — Cognitive Psychology Foundations. perception_action_locomotion is basic perception-action research; perception_reaction_time here is the applied timing literature used in reconstruction and testimony.
• headlamp performance, glare, and conspicuity measurement studies — Visibility & Lighting. Photometric and lighting-engineering measurement, including vehicle and VRU conspicuity as a laboratory or field variable, sits there. Here, visibility and conspicuity are analyzed for a specific case.
• naturalistic crash and near-crash datasets, in-depth crash investigation, and causation coding — Crash Causation & Contributing Factors. The sibling category in this area holds population-level and investigative causation work; crash_reconstruction_hf here reconstructs the driver's behavior in one event.
