| Abstract |
The elder population with 65 years old or more in Korea has been entered into an aging society as 9.1[%] in 2005 to 14.3[%] in 2018. The elder population in 2026 will be expected to 20.8[%] with the rapid aging society. In this study, there has been conducted a study on development of headlamp for elder friendly vehicle in order to from two different groups, one group for elder with over 65 ages, the other group for compared ages(20 ages, 30～50 ages). Glare test and forward visibility test were performed on wet and dry road conditions. As the result of these tests, it showed to prefer headlamp installed partially yellow coated bulb, which gives warm feeling on dry road condition. Forward visibility of headlamp which developed to fit on wet road condition is similar to existing HID headlamp. Glare was evaluated less than halogen and HID headlamp. However, it need to more improve glare and forward visibility performance of headlamp for old drivers. |
