N2  - The Adaptive Front Lighting System(AFS) for four-wheeled vehicles has been introduced. Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have presented AFS-mounted prototype motorcycles. When a motorcycle is driven on a curved road, the motorcycle headlamp inclines horizontally as the motorcycle body banks, and the area illuminated by the headlamp becomes limted. Therefore, minimizing the horizontal inclination of the headlamp would improve the visibility. This study was conducted to clarify the effects of a system to adjust the horizontal inclination of the motorcycle haedlamp(motorcycle AFS) on visibility, and to examine the side-effects of the motorcycle AFS(the discomfort glare for oncoming drivers).<p />  <p>Language: ja</p>
