Reported is the amount drivers are willing to pay for additional comfort resulting from a substantial decrease in glare from oncoming headlamps. While driving on a loop test track at night with controlled exposure to oncoming traffic, 24 drivers were required to choose between three headlighting systems with varying monetary values subtracted from their pay. The headlighting systems included a high glare system - conventional high beams, and two low glare systems - conventional low beams and high intensity polarized beams. Results of the driving study show that drivers beyond age 47 were willing to pay mean value of 23 to 40 cents per hour for low glare headlights when a high glare system was free. Drivers under age 29 who were less sensitive to the effects of glare, were willing to pay only 13 to 16 cents per hour. (Author)
