The effect of oncoming headlight glare on peripheral detection under a mesopic light level
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oncoming headlights sometimes cause disability glare that may obscure driver’s vision, both foveal and peripheral. The effects of disability glare on foveal vision have been investigated by many researchers for about 70 years and are generally specified by equivalent veiling luminance (e.g. Stiles and Crawford, 1937). However, few researchers have studied how disability glare impairs peripheral vision. So, it is important to investigate the effect of oncoming headlight glare on peripheral detection in a real roadway setting.

Development of a System to Study the Impact of Headlight Glare in a Driving Simulator
We report on the development of a realistic dynamic simulation of oncoming headlamp glare in a driving simulator. To our knowledge, no such simulation had been attempted or achieved previously. The simulation is based on superposition of a bright LED display through a beam splitter on the simulator screen and synchronizing the illuminated LED position to the image of the simulated oncoming car....
متن کاملDriver Friendly Headlight Controller for Driving in Developing Countries
In developing countries, night driving is extremely unsafe mainly due to; 1). Poorly followed traffic rules and 2) bad road conditions. The number of accidents is increasing at a frightening pace, necessitating the development of a low cost automatic headlight control system to ensure safety. In most accident cases, fatal collisions take place due to glare generated by excessive headlight inten...
متن کاملPsychophysical measurement of headlight glare aftereffects on human contrast perception for optimizing a driving simulator
Visual disorders of drivers, like high glare sensitivity, come to a higher accident risk at night. In contrast, light-based assistance systems, as marking light, try to optimize the perception of the driver by presenting as much light as possible on critical objects. Consequently it is necessary to analyze the influence of glare on contrast perception in order to estimate possible positive effe...
متن کاملHeadlight Glare Simulator for a Driving Simulator 2.0
In this paper, we would like to introduce a second generation of headlight glare simulator to be used with a driving simulator that significantly improves spatial and brightness accuracy of previously developed prototype headlight glare simulator (Fullerton & Peli, 2009). The system combined a programmable off–the-shelf LED display board and a beamsplitter so that the LED lights, representing h...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Headlight Glare Simulator for a Driving Simulator.
We describe the design and construction of a headlight glare simulator to be used with a driving simulator. The system combines a modified programmable off-the-shelf LED display board and a beamsplitter so that the LED lights, representing the headlights of oncoming cars, are superimposed over the driving simulator headlights image. Ideal spatial arrangement of optical components to avoid misal...
