Abstract

This paper presents the results of research into the obstacle contrast required for an obstacle to be perceived against a typical range of background luminances. The visibility of obstacles on roads is mainly determined by the luminance level and the luminance contrast. A well designed lighting device can provide good visibility. The background luminance range tested was between 0.5-2.5 cd/m2.
