PAGE SIX 'THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MRUARY 19.19'? PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY. FEBRTJARY 19, 19~Y 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 and the glare is more pronounced. feet, h Prof. Blackwell advises instead appear of looking directly into oncoming in th lights, a driver should look to the avoid] right edge of the road approxi- turns mately 100 feet in front of his car. too so He can then guage the distance never1 between his and another car and The the center line by means of peri- has de pheral vision. . during People Switeh Too Soon resear "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 Lights, Suggested To Promote 41 Fellowship Feb. 17 through 24 is Brother- hood Week. As a part of this nation-wide observance, Detroit Judge Joseph A. Moynihan will speak at a city- wide Brotherhood Dinner at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 21 in the ballroom of the Michigan Union.

However, if he on low beam illumination Don, the pedestrian would be spotted in time. affable vision psychologist eveloped many safety ideas his 11 year tenure at the ch laboratories. ng his ideas is that of a -type warning light de- for use in passing another obile. He points out that warning system would be ally effective on Michigan's 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."
