Simulating Driver Vision Using a CAD Software-New Technologies for Predicting Visual Comfort, Distraction, and Glare in the Driving Environment

In order to predict what the driver will see and how he/she will see it, it is necessary to call upon simulation techniques capable of modeling, globally and simultaneously, different light phenomena such as: ambient lighting, display technology, the vehicle's interior lighting, taking into consideration the multiple reflections from light within the vehicle. These have been the object of an important development by OPTIS.
