Summary
This paper investigates the impact of blue light on drivers' attention, mood, and alertness during realistic conditions, such as commuting to and from work in darkness, and finds that none of the outcome measures displayed the expected biological light effect.
Categories
Alertness and performance: The paper investigates the impact of blue light on drivers' alertness and performance during realistic conditions.
Mood regulation: The paper explores the impact of blue light on drivers' mood during realistic conditions.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design considerations for implementing blue light in vehicles to potentially improve drivers' alertness, performance, and mood.
