The goal of this study is to investigate desirable directions of future automobile lighting developments, by considering accident statistics and expected number of automobiles throughout the whole world-not just in the developed countries. Should this perspective in any way change the development presently in progress. The study starts by specifying the objectives of automobile lighting (Section 2) and continues with an analysis of the characteristics of the main factors determining nighttime visibility (Section 3). Sections 4 and 5 discuss the negative effects of impaired nighttime visibility. Section 6 describes the present and likely future distribution of vehicles worldwide, while Section 7 describes the present development trends in automobile lighting. Section 8 covers specific crash and traffic characteristics in the developing world. Section 9 analyzes the overall findings and provides recommendations. Finally, Chapter 10 draws conclusions about the potential effect of various measures and of the possibility of implementing them.
