Milestones :

  • Driver Simulator : Establish wet-night visibility levels with

significant impact on driving behaviour (age and gender)

  • Test Track : Reproduce the findings towards towards real-life

situations

  • Improve high accident areas using different road markings –

monitor speed and incidents.

  • ns
  • « MM II » Markings generally prefered by all drivers
  • Better « wet-night visibility » assists all drivers and does not

cause « unsafe » driving and speeding.

  • All age groups benefit, especially elder drivers.
  • Better visibility of the road network promotes more comfort

and road safety.

  • Technology exists – European Norms (EN1436) can by used

to implement it today.
