Simulator studies were made to evaluate a number of conventional and experimental vehicle rear lighting systems. In normal car-following conditions a number of experimental rear lighting systems, using functionally separated signal lamps or color coding provided better performance in signal identification. Some of the results were confirmed in a road test. There were no stable differences in car-following performance measures between systems in the simulator.
