This nighttime field study addressed the relative visibility of retroreflective pavement markings from trucks and cars. To do that, both low-beam headlamp mounting height and observer eye height were varied. The task involved detecting the presence of a strip of retroreflective pavement marking that was moved towards a stationary observer.
