Glare

What does glare mean? Here you will find the explanation of what causes glare for road users and what different types of glare there are.

Excessive contrasts create glare for road users. In night traffic, we usually talk about discomfort glare and visual impairment. A visual impairment is a glare that has a negative impact on vision, but does not cause any discomfort, so it is common not to do anything about it.Discomfort glare occurs when there is an object (e.g. a light source) in the field of view that has a significantly higher luminance than the surrounding area.
