This book conveys the crucial role lighting plays in road safety and examines how it might be used more effectively, explains the thinking and scientific reasoning behind various forms of lighting, and analyzes the contribution of street lighting 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 actual driving situations, such as glare, inclement weather, complex signage, and driver age. It also deals with the often-ignored consequences of too much light, such as light trespass and sky glow. Organizing lighting requirements from the perspective of driving tasks rather than technology this book: details the effects of light spectrum; incorporates a coherent philosophy for lighting based on the supply of visual information; provides a review of the latest findings on the most effective use of lighting for road safety; and examines future trends in road, signal, and vehicle lighting.
