The purpose of this study was to identify possible improvements in the present U.S. low beam headlight system, using an instrumented passenger car to evaluate the effect of experimental wide-angle low beam lighting on various driver performance measures--speed, brake pressure, longitudinal acceleration, steering wheel position, lateral acceleration, lateral lane position, and electrodermal response (GSR), for over 1,000 vehicle miles (30 hours) on a winding rural highway at night.
