Abstract Visibility is the most important requirement for safe driving. Even if we talk about bad weather conditions (fog, rain, snow) or glare phenomenon caused by sun or headlamps all have the same outcome, danger for the public transport. According to National Highway Traffic Administration glare causes hundreds of accidents every year. Due to sun glare drivers are not able to observe traffic signs, pedestrians, sudden curves or other traffic participants. In many cases this can lead to a catastrophe. In this paper is proposed a cost-effective system able to protect drivers against glare. It uses a sun tracking system to detect the point where the light has the maximum intensity on the windshield surface and an eye tracking system to find out the driver’s position. Based on these detections and using a head-up display on the windshield is projected a black spot in order to minimize the light power which can disturb the driver.
