- Abstract
The paper aims to identify the influence of deicing chemical contaminating automobile headlamps on light intensity in wintertime. Methods. Researches on the influence of deicing chemical contaminating automobile headlamps on light intensity were analyzed. Experiments on automobile lights contamination in wintertime were conducted under real road conditions. Variation in lights intensity due to contamination by deicing chemicals was studied. Results and discussion. Experimental methods for studying the influence of contaminated automobile headlamp beam transmission during the continuous automobile operation on the headlamp intensity were developed and approved. The experimental results are presented in tables, diagrams and graphs. Conclusions. The authors found that on winter roads covered with deicing chemicals, external automobile lights, including headlamps are contaminated. New data on the influence of headlamp contamination by deicing chemicals on light intensity at night were obtained. The experimental results were verified by curves which can be used for studying the influence of automobile headlamp contamination on light intensity in wintertime.
