“…The subject of nighttime visibility of various means of transport has been discussed in a wide array of scientific publications [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. For instance, Neale et al described the impact of the moon and its brightness on the illumination of pedestrians on roads [ 10 ].…”

Statistical surveys show that the majority of traffic accidents occur due to low visibility, highlighting the need to delve into innovative car lighting technologies. A car driver must not only be able to see but also to be seen. The issue of headlight illumination is vital, especially during the dark hours of the night. Therefore, the focus of this article is determining the range of visibility of dipped (low-beam) headlights under specific experimental conditions. We also designed a methodical guideline aimed at identifying the distance at which dipped headlights illuminate the road while a vehicle is in motion. Research conducted on various classes of road confirmed that the Hyundai i40 is best used on higher-class roads, while the Dacia Sandero is better used on lower-class roads due to the shape and spreading out of its light cone. Furthermore, the pros and cons of the distribution of light cones on several classes of road are presented. Sensor-related equipment was also used to investigate light beam afterglow. In particular, an LX-1108 light meter was applied to determine the obstacle illumination intensity, the properties of which enable recording of low lighting values, and a DJI Mavic AIR 2 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; drone) was utilized to record the data related to the location of the examined vehicle, as well as light afterglow at night; relevant data evaluation was carried out using Inkscape software.

“…In [ 13 ], the authors investigated technology to assist drivers in detecting objects under conditions of reduced visibility by implementing projection light beams (cones) in vehicle headlights. Their research compared several sets of duplicate testing vehicles (i.e., identical manufacturer model and model year).…”

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Photoscanning photogrammetry is a method for obtaining and preserving three-dimensional site data from photographs. This photogrammetric method is commonly associated with small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and is particularly beneficial for large area site documentation. The resulting data is comprised of millions of three-dimensional data points commonly referred to as a point cloud. The accuracy and reliability of these point clouds is dependent on hardware, hardware settings, field documentation methods, software, software settings, and processing methods. Ground control points (GCPs) are commonly used in aerial photoscanning to achieve reliable results. This research examines multiple GCP types, flight patterns, software, hardware, and a ground based real-time kinematic (RTK) system. Multiple documentation and processing methods are examined and accuracies of each are compared for an understanding of how capturing methods will optimize site documentation.</div></div>
