• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An examination of the crucial role lighting plays in road safety, this book explains the scientific reasoning behind different forms of lighting and their contribution to driver understanding of real and potential road hazards. The author discusses how these forms of lighting are likely to evolve in response to the development of new technology and an improved understanding of ergonomics and human factors. He addresses a wide range of complicating factors encountered in real driving situations such as glare, weather, complex signage, and driver age. The book illustrates how the many forms of lighting available can work together to best provide a coherent flow of information to the driver.
