Abstract

The use of vehicle lighting during the daytime can increase the visibility of a vehicle and can improve a driver's ability to estimate its location and direction of travel. Analyses suggest that the use of properly designed daytime running lights can be a cost-effective collision countermeasure. The proper design of running lights, considering the upper and lower limits of light intensity, fuel consumption and maintenance costs, is discussed.
