Abstract:

Degradation of the visual capacity of a motor vehicle driver caused by luminous 'sources' 1 on the driver's own vehicle during daylight is quantified according to luminance glare theory. Effects of driver's age and daylight conditions are considered, and a means for laboratory measurement of vehicle glare production characteristics is developed. Based upon a probabalistic model of target detection, allowable ; glare in the field of view is determined. It is found that "spot" glare sources do not materially contribute to degradation of visual capacity (with the model) , that the dash of the motor vehicle is generally the largest contributor to glare, and that suitable design changes to motor vehicles would allow them to meet the criterion established. Laboratory measurements with both collimated and diffuse sources are shown to be necessary to adequately evaluate motor vehicle performance.
