This report used 11 years of data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS 1987-1997) to investigate the sensivity to light level in three crash scenarios in which various forms of adaptive headlighting might have safety benefits. The scenarios included fatal pedestrian crashes at intersections, on dark roads, and single-vehicle run-off-road crashes on dark, curved roads. The results suggest that adaptive lighting may produce the greatest measurable safety benefit when it addresses the problem of pedestrian vulnerability in darkness.
