EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
 VISION IN VEHICLES
 
 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
 
 22-25 AUGUST 1999
 
 ANNOUNCEMENT & SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
 
 The Eighth International Conference on Vision in Vehicles will be run in
 conjunction with the Applied Vision Association and the Ergonomics Society.
 This highly successful conference series was established in 1985.
 
 Vision is of paramount importance in vehicle control and visual information
 must be presented in a way that can be rapidly assimilated.  This
 multi-disciplinary conference will provide an international forum for the
 exchange of information on current research encompassing all aspects of
 vision and its relationship to vehicle design.  This includes both the
 internal and external design of the vehicle as well as the perceptual and
 cognitive capabilities and limitations of the vehicle controller.
 
 The scope of the conference will cover all types of vehicles (e.g. cars,
 trucks, trains, aircraft, helicopters, ships, military vehicles) where the
 task involves monitoring both in-vehicle displays and the surrounding
 visual environment in both day and night-time conditions.  The conference
 will therefore be of interest to vehicle and instrument designers from any
 of the above industries, psychologists, ergonomists, ophthalmologists,
 optometrists, highway engineers, traffic planners, lighting engineers,
 legislators and anyone concerned with safety in vehicles.
