DRIVER EYE-MOVEMENT PATTERNS UNDER CONDITIONS OF PROLONGED DRIVING, AND SLEEP DEPRIVATION

CHANGES IN EYE-MOVEMENT PATTERNS OF 3 DRIVERS AFTER PROLONGED DRIVING AND SLEEP DEPRIVATION WERE INVESTIGATED. IN THE FIRST EXPERIMENTAL CONDITION, SUBJECTS DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 HOURS WITH ONLY MINOR STOPS FOR EQUIPMENT SETUP AND CALIBRATION ON REFUELING. PRIOR TO THE SECOND 9- HOUR DRIVING TASK, THE SAME SUBJECTS WERE DEPRIVED OF SLEEP FOR 24 HOURS. EYE MOVEMENTS WERE FILMED UNDER OPEN-ROAD CONDITIONS (NO TRAFFIC IN THE VISUAL FIELD) AT 3 SPEEDS: 40 TO 50 MPH, 60 TO 70 MPH, AND 75 MPH EXACT VELOCITY MAINTENANCE. THE EYE MOVEMENTS WERE EXAMINED BOTH SPATIALLY AND TEMPORALLY, AND A NEW INDEX-PURSUIT EYE MOVEMENTS-WAS INVESTIGATED. /AUTHOR/
