The Role of Supervised Driving in a Graduated Driver Licensing Program PDF, 756.71 KB

https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/role-supervised-dri...
From 2012. Traditional Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) systems, in place in all the States, include three licensing stages: the initial learner stage, an intermediate or provisional phase, and full licensure. An important component of GDL systems is the extended learner stage for beginning drivers. This stage gives novice drivers opportunity to gain valuable driving experience under the supervision of experienced adult drivers. Novice drivers rarely crash while they are being supervised by adults, but have the highest crash rates of all age groups during the first six months of unsupervised driving when they become fully licensed.

Adaptive Driving Beam Headlighting System Glare Assessment PDF, 5.07 MB

https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/adaptive-driving-be...
From 2015, NHTSA evaluated existing European Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) headlighting systems, a type of front-lighting system that lets upper beam headlamps adapt their beam patterns to create shaded areas around oncoming and preceding vehicles to improve long-range visibility for the driver without causing discomfort, distraction, or glare to other road users. Europe and Japan have begun to allow ADB headlighting systems as optional equipment. Using European test procedures adapted for performance on test track courses, the amount of glare cast on other vehicles by ADB systems was measured. The work summarized here together provides a basis for the development of performance criteria and an objective test procedure for ADB headlighting systems.
