Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Fast rise brake lamp as a collision prevention device

Notes: Sumario: Conventional tungsten-filament brake lamps have a relatively slow rise time. The present study evaluated the benefits of a 115 ms reduction in driver brake reaction time. Two approaches were used. In the first approach we calculated the reductions in effective stopping distance assuming a range of initial speeds. In the second approach we calculated the reductions in the proportions of very long reaction times, assuming a normal distribution of reaction times that is shifted by 115 msRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 36, nº 4, April 1993 ; p. 391-395Materia / lugar / evento: Seguridad vial Señalización luminosa Frenos Factor humano Accidentes de tráfico Prevención de accidentes Otros autores: Flannagan, Michael
