This report deals with human factors considerations in the design of truck lighting, signaling, and rearview mirrors. First, the relevant differences between cars and trucks in terms of the vehicles and the operating environments are described. Next, the potential functional implications of these differences are discussed. That is followed by brief descriptions of potential countermeasures to the problems. Finally, research topics that address the problems and the potential countermeasures are outlined.
