Abstract:
In real vehicle driving test, the eye movement parameters and gazing behavior characteristics of 20 drivers were tested by using EyeLink Ⅱ eye movement tracking device on urban road and highway respectively. The participant drivers were divided into experienced driver group and novice driver group. By decompositing the traffic scene videos in the actual driving process frame by frame, and the real fixation targets of the drivers were determined by combining the eye movement data of drivers. The characteristics of fixation area and fixation target for experienced drivers and novice drivers were compared, the influences of driving experiences on the gazing behavior characteristics for two groups were studied, and the reason induced the difference between the two groups was analyzed. Research result indicates that driving experience has significant influence on gazing behavior characteristic. When driving on urban road, experienced drivers pay 18% more attention to near objects, and 4.7 times more attention to in-vehicle rear view mirror than novice drivers. On highway, the fixation frequency percentage on distant area for novice drivers is only 41% of experienced drivers, and the percentage on in-vehicle area is 2.1 times than experienced drivers. The average fixation frequency of drivers on right side area is about 2.5 times than on left side area, while it is 4 times for experienced drivers and 1.5 times for novice drivers respectively. Both the strategy and effectiveness of visual information processing for novice drivers are poorer than experienced drivers. 3 tabs, 9 figs, 18 refs.
