Abstract

Previous accident research suggests that the majority of alcohol-related accidents can be traced to failures, of one form or another, in visual perception. At night the natural cues to the presence and nature of a curve are severely degraded and the effects of alcohol compound the perceptual difficulties faced. One possible approach is to provide additional information on curvature through special delineation treatments.
