This master's thesis deals with the analysis of comparison the results of experimental measurements of visibility with the software Dohľadnosť 2.0. Based on the specifications obtained by measuring in the field evaluates, whether the results acquired from the software by simulating an identical situation are consistent and therefore applicable for an expertise activities in solving the analysis of road-traffic accident.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um estudo comparativo entre as principais tecnologias utilizadas como fonte de luz para faróis automotivos. Inicialmente, esta dissertação apresenta uma breve introdução sobre a história dos faróis automotivos, desde os primeiros modelos até os protótipos em desenvolvimento que utilizam diodos emissores de luz (LEDs). Estes últimos surgem como uma possível alternativa às tradicionais lâmpadas incandescentes ou àquelas que funcionam por de descarga de gás. A tecnologia dos faróis a LED é baseada nos semicondutores emissores de luz branca de alto desempenho. Porém, apenas recentemente, esta tecnologia apresentou os primeiros sinais de viabilidade para aplicações automotivas devido ao crescente incremento na intensidade da luz emitida por estes semicondutores. Para desenvolver o estudo comparativo proposto, foram selecionados três faróis, sendo dois deles representantes das tecnologias atuais e o outro um farol a LED. Foram também estabelecidos critérios para comparação entre os seus desempenhos e realizados ensaios experimentais. Por fim, este trabalho fornece, sinteticamente, os principais resultados dos ensaios, enumerando as vantagens e desvantagens dos faróis com LEDs frente aos convencionais, além das barreiras existentes para aplicação desta nova tecnologia. / This work aims to present a comparative study among main technologies used as light sources for automotive headlamps. Initially, this thesis presents a brief introduction on the history of automotive headlamps, since the first models until the prototypes under development employing Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). These last ones appear as a possible alternative to either traditional incandescent light or even to gas discharge bulbs. The technology of the LED-headlamps is based on high performance white light emitting semiconductors. In fact, recently this technology presented the first signals of feasibility for automotive applications due to the growing increment in the intensity of the light emitted by these semiconductors. To develop the proposed comparative study, three headlamps were selected, being two of them representatives of the current technologies and the other one is a LEDheadlamp. Some criteria for comparison among their performances had been established and experimental tests were also performed. Finally, this work supplies, synthetically, the main results of the tests, enumerating the advantages and disadvantages of LED-headlamps in comparison with conventional ones. In addition to, it comments the existing barriers for application of this new technology as well.

The subject of this diploma thesis is designing a way of substituting pneumatic drives with electrical actuators for mechanical movements in a headlights tester. The thesis also contains a theoretical introduction to the issue in the first part. Substitution variants are assessed considering chosen parameters and evaluated using multi-criteria evaluation method. Two final designs are compiled based on the evaluation results and processed into the 3D model of the tester. Drawings are produced for these solutions. In conclusion, a recommendation derived from achieved results is given to the tester manufacturer, ELCOM a.s.

Vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of accidental death and injuries in the United States, claiming tens of thousands of lives and injuring millions of people each year. Many of these crashes occur during nighttime, where a variety of modifiers affect the risk of a crash, primarily through the reduction of object visibility. Furthermore, many of these modifiers also affect the nighttime mobility of older drivers, who avoid driving during the nighttime. Thus, a two-fold need exists for new technologies that enhance night visibility. Two separate studies were completed as part of this research. Study 1 served as a baseline by evaluating visual performance during nighttime driving under clear weather conditions. Visual performance was evaluated in terms of the detection and recognition distances obtained when different vision enhancement systems were used at the Smart Road testing facility. Study 2, also using detection and recognition distances, compared the visual performance of drivers during low visibility conditions (i.e., due to rain) to the risk perception of driving during nighttime under low visibility conditions. These comparisons were made as a function of various vision enhancement systems. The age of the driver and the characteristics of the object presented (e.g., contrast, motion) were variables of interest in both studies. The pivotal contribution of this investigation is the generation of a model describing the relationships between driver characteristics, risk perception, and visual performance in nighttime driving in the context of a variety of standard and prototype vision enhancement systems. Improvement of mobility, especially for older individuals, can be achieved through better understanding of the factors that increase risk perception, identification of systems that improve detection and recognition distances, and consideration of drivers' opinions on possible solutions that improve nighttime driving safety. In addition, this research effort empirically described the night vision enhancement capabilities of 12 different vision enhancement systems during clear and adverse weather environments. / Ph. D.

This paper will talk about the videos and sculptural installation in my thesis exhibition. Shooting videos outside of the studio developed into a project overarching any individual video or its particular signs. Thus, this paper will focus on the video project with examples that follow a timeline of development, rather than the actual 6 videos on display in the exhibit. The two-part sculpture "Deer in the Headlights" is created in the context of these videos, and coexists with them in a specific architectural space. This space, as well as the clichéd meaning of the deer's gaze, have a relation to the title of the show.
