Street Light Research Volunteers

The basic premise of responsible outdoor lighting at night is to provide lighting only where needed, when it is needed, and at the intensity needed to serve a useful purpose. KVDSI has created a research study that allows side-by-side comparisons of different lighting installations to discover how well new technology street lights perform with regard to visibility of pedestrians to automobile drivers.   Study participants need to be 18-75 years of age, possess a valid driver's license and have vision that is at least 20/40 or is corrected to at least 20/40.  Participants will be required to sign a consent form, take basic eye tests and drive a vehicle with special sensors on a closed 1/4 mile road, braking when a pedestrian dummy is seen.  All study participants need to pre-register for a specific time slot and should allow up to 90 minutes for participation.  A $30 thank you gift card will be presented to participants completing the study.
