The overall goal of the Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) Visibility Research Program is to enhance the safety of road users through near-term improvements of the visibility on and along the roadway. The program also promotes the advancement of new practices and technologies to improve visibility on a cost-effective basis. The following document provides a characterization of the experimental objects used in the evaluation of the visual performance of drivers during nighttime driving in various weather conditions. The experimental objects were used in the Phase II efforts of the Enhanced Night Visibility (ENV) project, a comprehensive evaluation of evolving and proposed headlamp technologies. The individual studies within the overall project are documented in an 18-volume series of FHWA reports, of which this is Volume IX. It is anticipated that the reader will select those volumes that provide information of specific interest. This report will be of interest to headlamp designers, automobile manufacturers and consumers, third-party headlamp manufacturers, human factors engineers, and people involved in headlamp and roadway specifications.
