Title:

Wearable Light and Glare Measurement Device (LuxSpecs)

Value Proposition:

Enables mobility-based, person-centric measurements (e.g., what a road user or worker actually experiences), improving the ecological validity of glare assessments. Useful for driver/road user exposure studies, worker safety monitoring and route-level lighting diagnostics — turning subjective human experience into objective, timestamped data.

Summary Application:

The device is suitable for personal exposure studies of drivers, pedestrians and riders, route-based lighting audits for city corridors and transit areas, hands-free glare and illumination monitoring for field personnel, occupational safety assessments where glare affects worker performance, and research studies focusing on human visual comfort, lighting effectiveness and glare-related safety insights.

Advantages:
  • Hands-free, head-referenced measurements that reflect actual human exposure.
  • Real-time monitoring plus wireless transfer for live dashboards or synchronized multi-device surveys.
  • Data logging and statistical summaries to detect hotspots, times and patterns of problematic glare.
