機車頭燈照明法規之研究
Study of the Regulations of Motorcycle Headlamp System
摘要
機車爲國人廣爲使用的交通工具，由統計數字中發現機車傷亡比例高達88%，爲汽車之3倍以上，且約70%死亡事故發生在夜晚，重大車禍中約有60%發生在照明不佳的轉彎處，因此改善機車頭燈照明，爲減少機車意外之有效工作。然而機車頭燈照明之改善，須有完善之機車頭燈照明法規做爲基礎。就機車頭燈照明法規項目的要求和先進國家比較，我國法規規範確實有所不足。本研究首先探討國際機車頭燈研發趨勢，接著比較各先進國家與機車頭燈照明相關的車輛安全審驗制度，再來分析歐洲、美國及國內現行機車頭燈照明法規之差異性，最後對將新增的適應性頭燈及晝駕燈光系統等法規項目作探討。由研究中發現歐盟ECE法規將會成爲全球國家車輛法規調和之共同目標，AFS(Adaptive Frontlight System)是未來機車標準配備，機車頭燈光源將朝向LED發展以及晝駕燈光系統可有效減少交通意外事故。

The motorcycle is a widely used but unsafe transportation vehicle in Taiwan. Some statistical data shows that motorcycle casualties account for 88% of all motor accident victims, more than three times as many accident victims as from cars. Among all vehicle accidents in Taiwan, 70% of fatal casualties have occurred at night, and 60% of them occurred on poorly-illuminated roads. Therefore, an effective way to reduce motorcycle accidents is to improve motorcycle headlamp systems. But, this improvement greatly depends on the proper motorcycle headlamp regulations. Compared with motorcycle headlamp regulations in other developed countries, the motorcycle headlamp regulations in Taiwan are not good enough to promote driving safety for motorcycles. This paper investigates the development trends for international motorcycle headlamp systems. Then we compare the vehicle safety examining systems for some major countries. We also analyze the differences of motorcycle headlamp regulations among the European Union, the USA and Taiwan. Finally, there is a discussion about AFS and DRL systems. This paper concludes that ECE Regulations will become the major global reference regulation for vehicles, AFS and LED will become basic equipment for motorcycles, and DRL systems will prevent motorcycle casualty effectively.
