SAFER NIGHT DRIVING:
'Cross-Eye'
By RONALD SCHELKOPF
Prof. H. Richard Blackwell, di-
rector of the University's Vision
Research Laboratories, is a man
of ideas.
His ideas center around one of
the most provocative problems of
today - highway safety. As a re-
searcher in human vision, he is
most immediately interested in
headlighting as it affects the eye
in night driving.
With the innovation of four-
headlamp styling on new cars,
Prof. Blackwell envisions a new
headlighting system that would
take the "glare" out of night driv-
ing.
A cross-beam type of headlight-
ing is "in the realm of probability
with the new headlamp styling,"
says Prof. Blackwell.
In his proposed "cross-eye" type
of headlighting, the light from
the right headlamp would be fo-
cused to the left and downward
-out of an approaching driver's
eyes. The left beam would be fo-
cused near the edge of .the road
on the right side, there caroming
off luminescent "retro-reflectors,"
which are to be placed along the
roadside.
Could Look to Right
Rather than look into an ap-
proaching driver's lights, the
cross-beam system would enable
the driver to look to the right edge
of the road. He could then guage
his distance from the opposite
lane and traffic by measuring vis-
ually, the distance between the
reflectors and the edge of the
highway.
Glare affecting night drviers
depends on "how bright, how big, MA
and where it is in relation to the Univ
viewer," Prof. Blackwell explains. to tr
The angle at which the eye per-
ceives a bright light must be in- cautio
creased as the light approaches at 60 r

"People don't drive right at Amo
night," Professor Blackwell ex- flasher
claims. He advises that drivers signed
use their parking lights the min- autom
ute that twilight descends, and such a
that headlights be applied as soon espec
as there is enough darkness to windin
bring out contrasts between ob- As t
jects with the lights. -
"People demand depression (a
switch to low beam) too soon,"
says the psychologist. He points
out that most drivers want an-
other driver to switch from high r
to low beam the minute another
car is in sight.
"Drivers are taking a chance in T
their politeness," he warns. Ob-
jects may loom up under low
beam which cannot be seen with
anything except bright light.
"Drivers shouldn't depress un- H
til they are within 100 to 200 feet f
of another car," Prof. Blackwell

As a part of this nation-wide
observance, Detroit Judge Joseph
A. Moynihan will speak at a city-

The Conference enlists Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews who be-
lieve that the practice of brother-
hood can lead to the peaceful so-
lution of neighborhood misunder-
standing.

for use in passing another

warning system would be

ag, three-lane highways.
the situation is now, with
two cars coming toward a third=
car on a curving stretch of road,
the driver of the third car can-
not tell whether one of the oppos-
ing 'cars is behind or beside the
other.
Prof. Blackwell points out that
if such a driver pulls around traf-
fic in front of him and into the
passing lane, he is taking a
chance on whether that lane is
occupied or not.
A small, flashing, fairly dim
light is the type recommended by
the vision expert. He suggests that
the light be just bright enough
so that the car being passed and
the cars coming from the oppo-
site direction can see it. "A flash-
ing light is most easily discern-
ible."
