Driving at night with a bright map designed for daytime use is blinding and dangerous. On my own initiative, I did extensive research on human vision and color perception, and wrote a successful case for a project to develop a dark map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I designed this map style while literally sitting in the dark, first in a cardboard “fort” I constructed around my cubicle, then in a blacked-out room in my house during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovative glowing design I created allowed me to use the same road colors as the light\/daytime map while keeping the overall brightness to the appropriate level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
