30 male and 13 female licensed drivers were given a static reaction-time test for Donders Type B reactions to the onset of automotive rear lights. The lights were displayed as by conventional systems and by a new color-specific method referred to as the "Red Light Means Stop approach." When subjects were instructed to regard all red colored light as brake-signal light, both incidence of identification error and reaction time decreased. Results support the hypothesis that addition of color specificity to rear lighting might prevent some rear-end collisions which occur under adverse driving circumstances.
30名男性和13名女性持证驾驶员接受了针对汽车尾灯亮起时的唐德斯B型反应的静态反应时间测试。尾灯的显示方式既有传统系统的，也有被称为“红灯即停法”的新的颜色特定方法。当受试者被指示将所有红色灯光视为刹车信号灯时，识别错误的发生率和反应时间均有所下降。结果支持了这样一种假设，即增加尾灯颜色的特异性可能会预防一些在不利驾驶环境下发生的追尾碰撞事故。
