Rear-end crashes account for approximately 25%of all crashes and result in a substantial number of injuries and fatalities each year. The goal of this research effort is to develop and test a small number of enhanced rear-lighting concepts that have the potential to reduce the number of rear-end collisions, including crashes with stopped or slowly-moving vehicles. This document reports on Task 2 of the research effort, which consisted of two experiments to design and optimize systems with regard to four dependent measures (Attention-Getting Rating, Discomfort-Glare Rating, Horizontal Peripheral Detection Angle, and Diagonal Peripheral Detection Angle) while also taking system complexity into account. |
