Research Highlights Improved Safety Potential of Hydrophobic Windshield Coatings PITTSBURGH, August 1997 -- The results of a recently released report by The University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute suggests that the use of hydrophobic windshield coatings has the potential to greatly improve driver visual performance in rainy conditions. The study, "The Influence of Hydrophobic Windshield Coating on Driver Performance," used simulated conditions to study the effect of hydrophobic coatings on windshields. The study indicates that hydrophobic coatings can improve an operator’s visual acuity by nearly 34 percent over an untreated windshield. Additionally, a driver’s response time to identify a small target was improved by 25 percent, from four seconds to three seconds. One second in response time represents about 58 feet of travel distance at 40 miles and hour. Recommended by Videolarm for use on CCTV Domes Passed G.E.
