TECHNICAL PROGRESS SUMMARY' SIMULATOR STUDIES OF VISIBILITY AND HIGHWAY LIGHTING

VISIBILITY MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE IN A 1'10 SCALE-MODEL SIMULATOR UNDER EACH OF FOUR DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF FIXED ROADWAY LIGHTING. A PEDESTRIAN TYPE TARGET AT 200 FEET WAS USED. IT WAS FOUND THAT UNORTHODOX LIGHTING SYSTEMS WHICH PROVIDE VERY UNIFORM ILLUMINATION ON THE PAVEMENT PRODUCED BETTER VISIBILITY CONDITIONS THAN MORE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS. /BPR/
