The study was carried out to obtain information of the manner in which the beam pattern of headlamps which provide meeting beams affect the way in which drivers obtain visual information in night driving. By comparing the eye fixations of the drivers in night driving, with the various beams, with their eye fixations in daytime on the same road, inferences were made as to the extent to which different meeting beams allow drivers to obtain information from important aspects of the roadway scene. The results can be used to describe basic characteristics of suitable meeting beam patterns.
