dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative cooperative headlighting method, dubbed 4U Lighting. A human-subjects study was conducted in which 12 participants 65 or older observed pedestrians under different lighting configurations and identified the moment when they were sure they could see a pedestrian. The participants drove a vehicle towards a static vehicle in the opposite lane around which the pedestrians were located. The distance at which participants could detect the pedestrian, termed the detection distance, was compared across lighting conditions and served as the measure of improvement in driver visual performance (visibility). Commercial connected vehicle hardware and protocols were used to communicate position between the two vehicles and to trigger the operation of the custom lighting control system. The system operated as expected and the data showed benefits to driver visual performance.en
