Automotive Lighting and Human Vision

Autor Burkard Wördenweber, Jörg Wallaschek, Peter Boyce, Donald D. Hoffman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 feb 2007
The safety of vehicle traffic depends on how well automotive lighting supports the visual perception of the driver. This book explains the fundamentals of visual perception, like e.g. physiology of eye and brain, as well as those of automotive lighting technology, like e.g. design of headlamps and signal lights. It is an interdisciplinary approach to a rapidly evolving field of science and technology written by a team of authors who are experts in their fields.

Descriere

It is possible to buy excellent books on human vision as well as about automotive lighting. Unfortunately, these books have little or no common content. But in fact these fields do overlap. Providing optimal conditions for human vision is what automotive lighting is all about. Our motivation for writing this book arises from interdisciplinary st- ies of human vision and lighting. Initially we intended the book to provide background information on human vision to engineers working in auto- tive lighting. At the same time we planned to introduce basic concepts of automotive lighting to experts in human vision. However because of the intricate connections between human vision and automotive lighting, it turns out that the book provides new insights to anyone interested in either or both subjects. The subject matter is complex and spans a number of disciplines from psychology to mechatronics. Hence there are very few individuals who are experts in all fields. Looking at the nature of human vision, it is surprising to find out how much every one of us takes it for granted. Rarely are we aware of how we use vision predominantly to verify our internal model of our surroundings. Many accidents, particularly at night, stem from the fact that our internal model misrepresented a significant part of our surrou- ings. Taking knowledge on human vision into account in the design of - ture automotive lighting systems reduces the risk of accidents at night.

Recenzii

Aus den Rezensionen:
"Wie die Autoren des Fachbuches … in ihrem Vorwort treffend konstatieren, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Büchern zum Thema ‘Kfz-Beleuchtung‘, wie auch zum Thema ‘Menschliches Sehen‘. Ein Buch, das beide Themen synthetisiert, suchte man bisher vergeblich ... Mit dem nun vorliegenden Buch wollten die Verfasser diese Lücke schließen. Und das ist ihnen auch gelungen. ... Hilfreich sind die sorgsam ausgesuchten und oft in Farbe abgedruckten Fotos, Grafiken und Zeichnungen, die den Text reichhaltig illustrieren. Formeln, Tabellen und Diagramme haben die Autoren gut dosiert eingesetzt ..." (Willem Ongena, in: Markt & Technik Sonderheft, 2008, Issue 3, S. 42)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Visual perception is the most important of the human senses. Lack of visual perception is one of the main causes of accidents. The safety of vehicle traffic depends on how well automotive lighting supports the visual perception of the driver. This book explains the fundamentals of visual perception, like e.g. physiology of eye and brain, as well as those of automotive lighting technology, like e.g. design of headlamps and signal lights. It is an interdiciplinary approach to a fastly evolving field of science and technology, answering questions like "How does information enter our brain when driving a car?" and "What are the benefits and dangers of LED signal lighting?"
