Abstract:
Basic purpose of the project is to design and manufacture a laboratory mounted set up
for testing and evaluating the performances of different fog lamps in foggy conditions,
and achieving simulation of fog by designing a filter that behaves similar to fog. Main
requirements while performing our experiment were to make sure no external light
interferes with our work. To counter external light a structure would be constructed and
covered with nylon fabric that would not allow the entrance of external light. Under
these conditions, two experiments would be performed. One of them was to check the
performance of fog lamps in artificial fog produced by the artificial fog machine, by
measuring the luminance of light and the scattering and attenuation of light through the
fog with lux meter. Second one would be related to recreation of fog effects using a filter
(jute net) and performing experiment one. Net would serve us the purpose of artificial
fog because it would work as attenuating medium. It would pass and reflect light
simultaneously in the same way as fog does. Data obtained by this would be compared
with the artificial fog results and analyzed. In the end, conclusions would be drawn about
the performances of light and recommended testing protocol would be given.
Key words: Fog, Fog Simulation, Fog Lamps, Artificial Fog machine, Jute net.
