The road environment includes many factors that, due to the repetitions of light signals within a limited area of the field of vision, can cause discomfort and in some cases flickering seizures amongst drivers and passengers. These potentially dangerous factors may occur when driving along an open road and in tunnel. The authors develops an experimental program in order to deepen the main factors of the road environment able to trigger seizures due to the flickering effect and to provide useful indications for the designing and maintaining of roads that are safe for all types of user, including photosensitive subjects.

Abstract
The road environment includes many factors that, due to the repetitions of light signals within a limited area of the field of vision, can cause discomfort and in some cases flickering seizures amongst drivers and passengers. These potentially dangerous factors may occur when driving along an open road and in tunnel. The authors develops an experimental program in order to deepen the main factors of the road environment able to trigger seizures due to the flickering effect and to provide useful indications for the designing and maintaining of roads that are safe for all types of user, including photosensitive subjects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
