Vehicle lighting systems are critical to the safety of night road traffic. Depending on the level of road lighting (urban or extra-urban), the lighting system settings and the nature of the light source used, the position of the steering wheel (LHD - left hand driving or RHD - right hand driving) the visibility and perceptions of the driver may be influenced. In this paper we aim to experimentally analyze the influences of the elements mentioned above on the visibility, perception and possibilities of avoiding a potential accident with a pedestrian crossing the unlit road at night. The analysis included the use of several cars and systems. Multiple for the detection and recording of perceptions and visibility. Various configurations were also used for the pedestrian crossing, but also for the driver of the vehicle, assuming an increase or decrease in visibility on the pedestrian in low beam headlamps. These experiments provide up-to-date information on the possibilities of avoiding road accidents in night-time traffic conditions. The results obtained can also be useful for more accurate calibration of the emergency braking of driver assistance systems.
