From prior studies, it was concluded that headlight glare could be eliminated on the highway by the use of polarized headlights, but a considerable period of time would elapse before all vehicles on the highway could be adapted to this system. This work is a study of the glare conditions resulting from the meeting's of various combinations and configuration of polarized and unpolarized headlights which would be encountered during the transition period to complete polarization. In only one instance, a transient situation which need not be maintained, would visibility be less than that encountered with present standard low-beam headlights. (Author)
