Effects of Driver’s License Status and Familiarity with Road Environment on Fixation Behavior While Walking to School

Recent developments in sensor technology have transformed the ways in which traffic surveys are conducted. This study investigates students’ characteristic walking behaviors while walking to and from school by using data acquired with an eyeglass-type eye-tracking device. The three main findings were as follows: when school routes (the roads used by students for their commute) are familiar, the traffic mirror receives the most gaze, and the number of safety checks is at its least; when school routes are unfamiliar, the space on the side of the traveling direction receives the most gaze; and people with driver’s licenses tend to gaze at the traffic mirror the most and increase the number of safety checks.
