computer-generated driver’s views under headlamp illumination and veiling glare experi-
enced by the oncoming drivers.
5. Simulations and prediction of driver’s performance
A number of computer models have been developed to predict target detection distances
with and without the presence of glare sources (e.g., glare illumination from oncoming
vehicle headlamps) and discomfort glare levels experienced by the drivers (Bhise et al.,
1977a). As an example, the outputs of the seeing distance model developed by Bhise,
Farber, and McMahan (1977a) are presented in Figure 7.10. The gu ...
