| Description | Mr. A. W. Devine, headlighting inspector at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, Boston, Mass., who is directly responsible for the enforcement of the motor vehicle lighting laws in the state of Massachusetts recently made an analysis of 800 night accidents which occurred on the Massachusetts highways during 1920 and 1921. A great many more accidents than this occurred during that time, but only 400 representative accidents are analyzed each year; the figures given, therefore, are an average of the results for two years. Mr. Devine found that of the 800 night accidents which he investigated, 25 per cent were due entirely to the lighting conditions; 17½ per cent being due to insufficient road illumination and 7½ per cent to glare. The ratio of the number of accidents due to each cause is very significant. The popular opinion among state officials and others interested in motor vehicle lighting has been that glare is the predominating evil. The results of this analysis would indicate that as the cause of highway accidents at night, glare is not half so serious as insufficient road illumination. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
