More and more visual information have to be displayed in a car. For safety reasons and in order to avoid fatigue these information must be seen as clearly as possible by the driver in any light conditions. Light intensity, homogeneity and colour variation must be handled and can now be simulated by SPEOS simulation software from OPTIS. SPEOS allows the user to handle and simulate accurately source emission, light propagation, light interaction with surfaces and light detection with a spectral management of data. In the paper, the main characteristics of the SPEOS software application are resumed. The following topics are outlined. Photometric simulation: source modelling, propagation - effect of the ambient light; colorimetric simulation: color washout, energetic, contrast analysis, visual standards; display model: LCD display, LCD simulation; photometric rendering; eye model, detection; depth of focus; night vision devices and infrared equipment. The approach to vision simulation is a new way of understanding visual perception with a view to going further with the visual ergonomics of cars. OPTIS has been able to generate spectral hyper realistic images fully based on physics in its SPEOS software. This development was certainly a key to obtaining the light information essential for vision simulation. The application can be generalized to automotive industry, and control room, by defining the usual standards.
