Abstract

The effect of some rear lighting system malfunctions on the ability of drivers to identify signals was evaluated in experiments using a driving simulator. Six rear lighting systems using combined function, separate function, signal lamp redundancy, and colour coding were compared in normal and malfunctioning operating conditions. The results are presented in this paper.
