Abstract

Abstract. The paper presents a method for determination of the visual perception limits of the pedestrians staying on the roadway, in orthostatic or lying positions. In order to do that, some tests and photometric measurements, in dark conditions using dummies wearing white and black clothes, were made. The results were the basis of the analytical determination of the distance from which the driver can perceive certainly the human nature of the obstacle on the road.
