AIRPORT MARKING AND LIGHTING SYSTEMS: A SURVEY OF OPERATIONAL TESTS AND HUMAN FACTORS, 1959-1961
Abstract
A report summarizing operational test results and human factors knowledge relevant to the design of airport marking and lighting systems, ''Airport Marking and Lighting Systems, A Summary of Operational Tests and Human Factors,'' HSR-RR-59/1-Mk, May 1959, summarized operational test results from the 1946 Arcata work on approach lighting to the 1958 tests of narrow gauge runway lighting at Dow Air Force Base. This present report is a supplement to the first and contains operational test results and human factors information generated during 1959-1961. Operational tests of airport marking and lighting since 1959 have been concentrated in three areas: beacon systems, approach and runway combined systems, and angle of approach indicators. Test results in these areas are summarized and individual reports are annotated. Human factors work during 1959-1961 is presented in five categories: pattern recognition, luminance and visual acuity, dynamic visual acuity and motion perception, size- distance judgments, and response latency to visual stimuli.
