Abstract

This paper describes a growing interest in the role of pavement luminance in highway lighting as well as vehicle headlight design in order to improve the visibility. Safe operation of a motor-vehicle on a highway requires that the driver is able to perceive any hazard on or near the road and therefore roadway luminance is probably the most important.
