N2  - It is reasonable to assume that the condition of the windscreen has something to do with the ability of a driver to see through it. One study implies that seeing ability is impaired by scratched windscreens, a second evaluates cleaning methods for improving the wettabllity of the glass surface to improve the ability to see through ft, a third evaluates water repellent materials for use on aircraft windscreens and a fourth concludes from three windscreens that surface damage reduces the perceptibility of objects on the roadway. (See text.) This study was designed: (a) to obtain a population sample of automobile windscreen surface damage and dirt accumulation, (b) to evaluate the ability to see through the dirt and surface damage in a static and dynamic driving situation, and (c) to evaluate the practicability of resurfacing automobile windscreens.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
