Snowplow Lighting Visibility and Perception- U of A
April 28, 2022
Snowplow Lighting Visibility and Perception
Ensuring the safety of commuters and maintenance workers is one of the primary goals of Alberta Transportation. During inclement winter weather events, the visibility and decision-making capability of commuters are critically hampered and become worse during snowplow operations. This has led to many near misses and collisions between the general public and maintenance vehicles. In response to this, Alberta Transportation is working to improve the visibility of maintenance vehicles by proposing alternative lighting configurations through snowplow lighting research projects and field experiments. This subjective survey would significantly assist the research team in finding the best configuration in terms of conspicuity (visibility or attention grabbing) to promote safer mobility and snow plowing operations.
Your valued responses will guide us in understanding which lighting configuration is more conspicuous and allows us to make more informed decisions.
You are invited to participate in a research study to help improve the visibility of maintenance vehicles during inclement winter weather and increase the level of road safety for the general public. The study is being conducted by Alberta Transportation in collaboration with the University of Alberta.
Participation in this study is voluntary and the information you will share with us, if you choose to participate in this online survey, is anonymous and will be kept completely confidential to the full extent of the law.
