Aviation Signal Lighting: Impacts of Lighting Characteristics on Visibility

John D. Bullough

This paper summarizes research on visual responses to colored light signals in the aviation and roadway environment and on government requirements for lighting along airfields. The objective is to identify gaps in the knowledge about how individuals process visual information in order to inform subsequent studies of requirements for visual signaling or airfield lighting, particularly when existing standards are unlikely to be met and when visual conditions are likely to be difficult.
