측면보조방향지시등의 인지특성 평가에 관한 연구

Due to the rapid prevalence in Lighting Emitting Diodes(LEDs) technology, it has been increasingly used as automotive lighting devices and had a strong effect on its exterior design. Mirror-Mounted Turn Signals(MMTS) composed of LEDs are lighting signal lamps which are combined with high technology and innovative design. This paper studies MMTS along with various experiments regarding photometric characteristics, geometric visibility and cognitive characteristics. Experimental results are compared to those of MMTS and conventional auxiliary turn signals. As results of the study, MMTS were evaluated to be better stylish and cognitive than conventional auxiliary turn signals. This study is expected to be used as database for revision of Korea Motor Vehicle Safety Standard(KMVSS).
