The relevant literature spans several Scientific Fields and Focus Areas. Namely:
1. Visual Search, which investigates how people located target objects amongst background objects (or distractors) in a visual scene.
2. Visual Attention, which investigates what objects attract attention in a visual scene.
3. Road Traffic Safety, where specific field studies have been contacted to investigate high-visibility apparel improve consciousness and reduced accidents rate.
4. Worksite Safety, where specific field studies have been contacted to investigate how high-visibility apparel improve consciousness and reduced accidents rate.
