Book excerpt: Integrates Vehicle, Signal, and Road Lighting into a Unified System Many people drive many miles after dark and rely on lighting to help them gather information about the road ahead and the presence and intentions of other people on and near the road. With new technology on the industry’s horizon, Lighting for Driving: Roads, Vehicle, Signs and Signals conveys the crucial role lighting plays in road safety and examines how it could be used more effectively. Authored by a lighting and visibility expert, this book explains the thinking and scientific reasoning behind various forms of lighting and analyzes their contribution to the driver’s understanding of real and potential road hazards. Filled with useful information, this resource straightforwardly addresses a wide range of safety factors encountered in real driving situations, such as weather conditions, complex signage, and driver age. It also deals with the often-ignored consequences of too much light, such as light trespass and sky glow. Comprehensively Explores the Field, Emphasizing Improved Safety Vehicle, road, sign, and signal lighting are provided to enable drivers to reach their destinations quickly and safely. However, the attention given to how these forms of lighting function is likely to change as new technology is introduced and understanding of ergonomics and human factors improves. This book effectively illustrates how these forms of lighting can be modified to work together to best provide a coherent flow of information to the driver.

Download or read book Effects of Automotive Interior Lighting on Driver Vision written by Joel M. Devonshire and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been growing interest in vehicle interior lighting for both functional and esthetic purposes. Although a large body of research has developed over many years on nighttime driver vision and vehicle exterior lighting, there has traditionally been little research attention to interior lighting. This report includes a brief review of some of the research that has been done, and presents the results of a nighttime field study that was performed to contribute to the understanding of how vehicle interior lighting affects some basic aspects of driver vision. Participants in the study were asked to perform two tasks while seated in a stationary experimental car on a closed test road at night: (1) detecting pedestrians on the road ahead, and (2) rating the subjective brightness of a reflected veiling light on the windshield. The veiling light was varied in both luminance and color. The results indicated that pedestrian detection was closely related to photopic photometric measures, suggesting the pedestrian task was influenced primarily by cone photoreceptors, while the rating of subjective brightness appeared to show an influence of rod photoreceptors. These results have implications for how the photometry of vehicle interior lighting should be performed in order to give the bestcorrelation with driver visual performance. Future research should further quantify the effects observed here and investigate changes in retinal adaptation associated with automotive interior lighting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automotive lighting technology has come a long way in the last 20 years as new technologies start to gain importance. High-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps - also known as xenon headlamps - were invented in early 1990s, challenging the dominance of halogen headlamps for the first time. Since then, automotive lighting has developed to solid-state technology in the form of light emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and laser technology. Much of this progress can be attributed to the pace of scientific innovation in materials technology. For instance, the price of LEDs has decreased rapidly over the past three to five years, and this trend is expected to continue over the next couple of years until LED lights reach a true mass-adoption cost. Essential research on better materials is crucial to reach this price goal. However, beyond that, advances in materials will also broaden LED consumption through improved performance in brightness, lifetime (concerning brightness and colour maintenance), and colour homogeneity or colour rendering. Automotive headlights have been the last automotive application to transition to LEDs. High-power, high-luminance LEDs are now being designed into luxury and midrange vehicles, and new technologies and materials are expected to expand this to the high-volume entry-level vehicles sector in the next few years. The industry-wide move to solid-state light sources brings several obvious advantages, such as a significant reduction in energy use. Illumination has accounted for a significant proportion of energy use; a 50% reduction by 2025 over 2005 through solid-state light sources is a significant achievement. Within the automotive sector, solid-state light sources lead to an overall reduction in CO2 emissions, and a significantly longer working lifetime. Apart from the LED and OLED light sources that are being incorporated in vehicles today, new light sources in development include digital micromirror devices (DMD) and laser technology. Although reducing CO2 emissions is a key goal in today's automotive development, lighting has equally been a focus of intense development for reasons of product differentiation. Led by the European OEMs, there has been a revolution in optics and photonics that allows unique design elements. Signature shapes and designs for both rear and front lighting, including daytime running lights (DRLs), have become a feature for a wide range of OEMs.

Download or read book Human Factors of Visual and Cognitive Performance in Driving written by Candida Castro and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-11-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is involved in more than 90 percent of traffic accidents, and of those accidents, most are associated with visual distractions, or looking-but-failing-to-see errors. Human Factors of Visual and Cognitive Performance in Driving gathers knowledge from a human factors psychology standpoint and provides deeper insight into traffic -user behavior and the ways drivers acquire information from the road. Emphasizes Drivers as Visual Information Processors Because driving is an eyes-wide-open task, drivers are exposed to a multitude of visual stimuli along their journey. This information must be correctly processed in order to make the right decisions and perform precise safety maneuvers. With contributions from more than 20 leading experts, this detailed resource discusses road and markings design, new technologies, signage, distraction, safety, situation awareness, workload, driving experience, fatigue, and driving interventions with the goal of improving driving behavior and preventing accidents. Addresses These Key Areas: Visual attention and in-vehicle technologies Interventions to reduce road trauma Avoiding collisions and the failures involved in that endeavor Using jargon-free language that is easily understood, this book compresses research from the past few decades into one accessible resource. It clearly and cohesively provides ergonomics and human factor engineers, industrial designers, and highway and roadway engineers with an overarching understanding of the incessant visual demands drivers face.
