Funded Activity Summary

Psychophysical Assessment of Receptoral and Post-Receptoral Visual Function. Visual function and performance can be degraded under dim light levels. This occurs in many indoor settings, emergency lighting and road traffic lighting conditions. Approximately 45% of all Australian road traffic fatalities occur under dim lighting conditions. My data will be unique, as it will provide accurate parameters to better design mesopic lighting environments to maximize visual function and performance. This work will help to optimise road traffic lighting for the early recognition of obstacles and dangerous situations. The research program will make important scientific contributions to understanding human visual function and performance at dim light levels.
