The impact of mesopic conditions to detect functional visual loss in drivers with simulated media opacity (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose: Although driving encompasses a wide range of rapidly modulating contrast and luminance levels, contrast sensitivity (CS), if assessed, is typically done under photopic conditions. This study evaluated existing measures of CS under photopic a... Read More about The impact of mesopic conditions to detect functional visual loss in drivers with simulated media opacity.

The impact of paternal alcohol, tobacco, caffeine use and physical activity on offspring mental health: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Background: There is some evidence that paternal health behaviours during and around pregnancy could be associated with offspring health outcomes. However, the impact that paternal health behaviours during pregnancy can have on offspring mental healt...

Maxwell’s disappointment / Sutton’s accident (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has almost become somewhat of an urban legend or internet myth that James Clerk Maxwell created the first colour image and had demonstrated this at the Royal Institution in London in May 1861. He did present something, but what? In ‘The scientific... Read More about Maxwell’s disappointment / Sutton’s accident.

Urban networks and autonomous vehicles (2021)
Book Chapter

All vehicles need routes, and infrastructure provision is therefore of prime importance. Autonomous vehicles will have to interact with humans as pedestrians, cyclists (on conventional and e-bikes) and other human scale mobility including wheel-chair...
