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 of-
fice conditions and the prevailing illumination is incorporated. As
contrast perception is highly subjective, a psychophysical experi-
ment was performed under realistic night driving conditions, in-
cluding background illumination as well as a representative driving
situation to permit realistic driving behavior.
