Abstract

Key Words: night visibility, illumination level, blind driving.

From the total traffic level, almost 20% represents the driving by night, in hard conditions, when the variable and cyclic intensity level of the headlamp illumination of the opposite side drivers decrease the seeing capacity of the driver. More than 33% of traffic accidents are done in those conditions. The paper presents a experimental study concerning the determination of the automotives in motion with a high level of headlamp low beam illumination. The importance of our study consist in the determination of the automotives in motion with a high level of headlamp low beam illumination that can produced a short time blind driving situation.
