Aviation signal lighting : impacts of lighting characteristics on visibility.

PDFTech ReportSignalsAviationVisibilityPelagia Research LibraryBullough, John D.Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Lighting Research CenterPelagia Research LibraryUS Transportation CollectionThis paper summarizes research on visual responses to colored light signals in the aviation androadway environment and on government requirements for lighting along airfields. The objectiveis to identify gaps in the knowledge about how individuals process visual information in order toinform subsequent studies of requirements for visual signaling or airfield lighting, particularlywhen existing standards are unlikely to be met and when visual conditions are likely to bedifficult
