TRL and the Department for Transport (DfT) have begun practical trials to understand the factors contributing to glare and explore ways to address them.
Running from October 2024 through Spring 2025, the project instrumented a car, using it to assess light levels experienced by drivers during real driving on UK roads.
The trials have so far measured factors such as surrounding vehicles, weather conditions and general lighting to understand the conditions most likely to lead to high brightness levels and glare.
To ensure complete understanding of glare on the roads, TRL has said it will review scientific evidence and consult with various stakeholders.
According to TRL, the findings will be used to generate recommendations for the DfT to action in international working groups related to the issue.
