Needs for Integration Technology between Vehicle Headlights and Road Lighting(<Feature>Lighting Coordinations of Road and Car for Our Goal of Further Traffic Safety)

Abstract

This report describes backgrounds to the establishement of "Committee on Interaction between Road and Vehicle Lighting on the Road", reviews research papers regarding effect of integrated condition with road and vehicle lighting on dirver's visibility, and proposes a new road lighting design using probeam lighting system on the road. Road lighting is designed to promote visibility withour refrence to vehicle lighting. Vehicle lighting is designed to provide visibility in the absence of road lighting. While optimaization of interaction between road and vehicle lighting, it is at present unachievable because there is insufficient information on thir combined effets. Based on these results, it is necessary to develop innovation technology regarding road lighting system to contribute to better safe and comfort road space at night.
