The overall goal of the Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) Visibility Research Program is to enhance the safety of road users through near-term improvements of the visibility on and along the roadway. The program also promotes the advancement of new practices and technologies to improve visibility on a cost-effective basis. The following document provides an overview of the initial series of studies conducted in Phase I of the Enhanced Night Visibility (ENV) project, and the development of the Phase II plan for the experiment. The ENV project provided a comprehensive evaluation of evolving and proposed headlamp technologies in various weather conditions. The individual studies within the overall project are documented in an 18-volume series of FHWA reports, of which this is Volume II. It is anticipated that the reader will select those volumes that provide information of specific interest. This report will be of interest to headlamp designers, automobile manufacturers and consumers, third-party headlamp manufacturers, human factors engineers, and people involved in headlamp and roadway specifications.
