This paper deals with the possibility of a new warning method for controlling drivers' sensitivity for recognizing hazardous factors in the driving situations. The method is based on a visual warning mark in peripheral vision that is called an ambient warning. In this study, the presentation of ambient visual cue was investigated as a soft warning without feeling disagreeableness that is nuisance and distraction of visual warning. The results of experiments for four subjects performed with a 27 inch monitor display show that the response time for detecting the moving mark from outer side to center of screen by changing brightness of background screen color. Author suggests that there are two types of subjects’ characteristics for detecting moving mark with sensibility to the mark in peripheral view.
