Nighttime driving performance was studied in relation to four different driving tasks and four levels of visual degradation; four matched but task-differentiated groups of four each drove an instrumented vehicle at night on superhighway; four levels of visual degradation presented roadway to driver at overall luminance levels of 5.228, 2.688, 0.755, and 0.168 mL; two dependent variables were vehicle speed and vehicle distance from white shoulder line; visual degradation caused drivers to slow down and position vehicle slightly farther away from shoulder.
