Abstract

The aim of this work is to enable the simulation of the experience of short-time glare effects in a driving simulator by adjusting the display contrast according to human perception. The simulation is displayed on a standard LDR-monitor under office conditions and the prevailing illumination is incorporated. As contrast perception is highly subjective, a psychophysical experiment was performed under realistic night driving conditions, including background illumination as well as a representative driving situation to permit realistic driving behavior.
