Abstract

Road safety has been of increasing concern in recent years, and vehicle crashworthiness has been highlighted as a significant challenge. While known factors such as improper driving, road conditions and driving under the influence of substances have contributed to this problem, a new perspective has emerged regarding the color of cars and its impact on crash rates. Recent research has indicated that the color of a vehicle can play an important role in road safety. The colors red, silver, white and black have been identified as those that drivers perceive most clearly in different scenarios, such as time of day, distance and traffic location.
