Résumé / Abstract
Studies on driving behavior in reduced visibility situations (fog and underlying blooming effects, dazzle...) Is a social challenge as these kind of situations are potentially not safe and as they are difficult to reproduce and study in actual situations. Real time rendering of traffic reduced-visibility situations (including the effects of other vehicles' lights) within car driving simulator is a technical challenge due to real time constraints, physical rendering model and physical cues limitations. In the framework of a French national project called voir, the authors have developed a software library in order to produce real-time visual effects. Integrated in driving simulator software, this library enables the authors to put drivers in traffic reduced-visibility situations. In order to assess the subjective quality of the proposed situations, the authors have conduct an experiment (70 km of driving, various effects, 38 subjects). In the presentation, they present the software library concepts and its integration, the experiment scenario and the experimental results.
