Abstract

The degree of visual conspicuity necessary for pedestrians under nighttime conditions is discussed. The parameters of brightness and area are related to subjective driver interpretations of pedestrian visibility and conspicuity. The performance of various reflective surfaces illuminated by the present standard headlight system is compared with the brightness and area requirements found for each level of visibility and conspicuity.
