The safety of vehicle traffic depends on how well automotive lighting supports the visual perception of the driver. This book explains the fundamentals of visual perception, like e.g. physiology of eye and brain, as well as those of automotive lighting technology, like e.g. design of headlamps and signal lights. It is an interdisciplinary approach to a rapidly evolving field of science and technology written by a team of authors who are experts in their fields.

Rezensionen
Aus den Rezensionen: "Wie die Autoren des Fachbuches ... in ihrem Vorwort treffend konstatieren, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Büchern zum Thema 'Kfz-Beleuchtung', wie auch zum Thema 'Menschliches Sehen'. Ein Buch, das beide Themen synthetisiert, suchte man bisher vergeblich ... Mit dem nun vorliegenden Buch wollten die Verfasser diese Lücke schließen. Und das ist ihnen auch gelungen. ... Hilfreich sind die sorgsam ausgesuchten und oft in Farbe abgedruckten Fotos, Grafiken und Zeichnungen, die den Text reichhaltig illustrieren. Formeln, Tabellen und Diagramme haben die Autoren gut dosiert eingesetzt ..." (Willem Ongena, in: Markt & Technik Sonderheft, 2008, Issue 3, S. 42)
