Maintaining Lane Position with Peripheral Vision during In-Vehicle Tasks
TLDR
The result supports the hypothesis that novices need foveal vision at first for lane keeping but, with increasing practice, learn to manage with more peripheral vision.Abstract:
Much research on driver attention, including evaluations of in-car equipment, at least implicitly assumes that attention is where the gaze is. Research on the dynamics of visual attention, however, suggests that drivers may use peripheral vision and that they learn its use over time, depending on the task demands and eccentricity. To investigate effects of task load and position on lane keeping, 11 novices and 16 experienced drivers were asked to drive along a straight road using only peripheral vision for lane keeping while doing another task foveally. The task varied in position and in mental load, with two difficulty levels in each of two different tasks. In the visual attention tasks, position had a clearly different effect on lane-keeping performance among novices and the experienced, as measured by the distance covered before crossing a lane boundary. Novices' performance deteriorated with the foveal task at near periphery at the speedometer level, whereas the performance of experienced drivers drop...read more

Mental workload while driving: effects on visual search, discrimination, and decision making.
Miguel A. Recarte,Luís Nunes +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of mental workload on visual search and decision making were studied in real traffic conditions with 12 participants who drove an instrumented car and produced spatial gaze concentration and visual-detection impairment, although no tunnel vision occurred.

Eye movements and the control of actions in everyday life
TL;DR: Major conclusions are that the eyes are proactive, typically seeking out the information required in the second before each act commences, although occasional 'look ahead' fixations are made to establish the locations of objects for use further into the future.

Collision warning timing, driver distraction, and driver response to imminent rear-end collisions in a high-fidelity driving simulator.
TL;DR: Analysis of the braking process showed that warnings provide a potential safety benefit by reducing the time required for drivers to release the accelerator, but they do not, however, speed application of the brake, increase maximum deceleration, or affect meanDeceleration.

Sensitivity of eye-movement measures to in-vehicle task difficulty
TL;DR: In this article, the eye-movement measures were found to be highly sensitive to the demands of visual and auditory in-vehicle tasks as well as driving task demands, and two new measures, Percent road centre and Standard deviation of gaze, were found more sensitive, more robust, more reliable, and easier to calculate than established glance-based measures.

Speed-of-processing and driving simulator training result in improved driving performance
TL;DR: Speed-of-processing training, but not simulator training, improved a specific measure of useful field of view (UFOV®), transferred to some simulator measures, and resulted in fewer dangerous maneuvers during the driving evaluation.

Strategies of Visual Search by Novice and Experienced Drivers
TL;DR: In this paper, six novice drivers drove a 2.1mi. neighborhood route and a 4.3mi. freeway route and eye movements (including blinks and glances to the vehicle's mirrors and speedometer) were videotaped.

TL;DR: While the spatial determinants of velocity discrimination follow the change in resolution found with eccentricity, peripheral temporal sensitivity must be nearly equal to foveal temporal sensitivity.

Identifying correlates of accident involvement for the older driver
Karlene Ball,Cynthia Owsley +1 more
TL;DR: Conceptual and methodological issues involved in addressing the question of functional measures that differentiate older adults who drive safely from those who do not are discussed, why earlier research has been largely unsuccessful, and a working model for approaching the problem are presented.
