Samenvatting
The distances at which pedestrians are first detected by drivers looking through clear and heat absorbing glass were determined with the aid of a headlight visibility program. The effects of other vehicle and environmental factors such as headlamp misaim, headlamp dirt, pedestrian reflectance, pavement type, low beam glare, high beam glare, road curvature, change in grade, and wet pavements on detection distance have also been evaluated.
