EN The dynamic development of electroluminescent diode technology, easy control and extensive colour reproduction abilities lead to the common use of such devices in advertising equipment. Billboards made from LEDs are usually large, have high luminance and show dynamically changing images; when used at night, given the drivers' sight adaptation to low luminance prevalent in the road, the billboards almost always are sources of glare. Consequently, they pose a potential threat to road traffic safety. So far, the requirements and normative recommendations related to limiting the danger posed by LED billboards have not been defined. In order to determine the impact of LED billboards on the visual performance of drivers, a vehicle driving simulator was built. The article describes the testing procedure and tests results.
