Abstract

A study of driver perception of pedestrian conspicuousness under the standard headlight system is reported. The degree of visual protection necessary for pedestrian under night driving conditions is explored. The performance of various reflective surfaces illuminated by the present standard headlight system is compared to the brightness and area requirements found for each level of visibility and conspicuousness.
