French term

zones d’éblouissement

French to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
This describes the environment that can be simulated using computer graphics of rail simulators used to train rail drivers, here is the whole sentence, I've put "dazzle areas" or "dazzle zones" but I don't really like these! Thanks in advance:
L’élève se familiarise ainsi sur simulateur avec les spécificités de sa ligne : villes, paysages, trafic urbain, emplacements de la signalisation, zones d’éblouissement, altérations de visibilité dues à la pluie, à la neige ou au brouillard… "
I thought of blind spots but I'm sure that's not it!
Proposed translations (English)
5 +1 dazzle zones
3 glare zones

The physical accuracy of the cab and train models combined with the visual and environmental fidelity of the Computer Generated Images (CGI) ensures the trainees are completely immersed and absorbed in the training task at hand.
The CGI vision covers the comprehensive range of situations and experiences that arise during train driving;

*
Environmental interactions such as fog, snow, rain and sun glare
*
Animations such as track side workers, vehicles, boom-gates and passengers
* Railway features such as complex stations, bridges, tunnels and signals

Incorporating the RealityManager tool-set our simulators provide superior flexibility to: create, train, record, report and measure the effectiveness of training.
