Driver Response and Reaction on Sharp Curved Roads to the Use of White and Yellow Head Lamps
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Nowadays, with the increase in mobility and traffic intensity, it is essential to continuously improve driving safety technology. Driving safety is a primary concern as mobility increases and road networks continue to develop. In constantly changing and challenging road environments, such as winding roads, vehicle lighting factors become key to ensuring that drivers can respond quickly and accurately to emerging situations. Vehicle lights, particularly white and yellow headlamps, play an important role in providing adequate illumination to improve driver visibility on winding road conditions. The study uses a qualitative method, involving simulation analysis of driving on sharp curves and collecting interview data from experienced and professional drivers. The collected data is analyzed using the SWOT analysis method. Based on the findings, yellow headlamps are positioned in Quadrant I, at coordinates (0.53 and 0.75). This indicates that the use of yellow headlamps can be implemented effectively. Meanwhile, white headlamps are located in Quadrant II, at coordinates (-0.11 and 0.20). This shows that the use of yellow headlamps can be applied, albeit with internal considerations.
