The appendix to the Final Report on an FHWA project investigating the impact of reduced lighting tactics evaluates the relative effectiveness of fixed lighting systems versus vehicle-based illumination, in providing the visual inputs required by a driver for the detection and subsequent avoidance of roadway hazards. Target visibility is acknowledged as the greatest influence on a driver's probability of hazard detection, with a specific focus on effective contrast.
