DURATION OF DRIVERS' GLANCES AT MIRRORS AND DISPLAYS

The frequency and duration of visual glances by drivers scanning the roadway scene has been researched. Recent studies have given statistical parameters of experimental data. This data allows the statistical distribution of driver glance times to be estimated based on an appropriate analytical model. This paper presents the statistical distribution of driver glance times to two mirrors, four dashboard displays, and an outside-the-vehicle target. The closeness with which the model approximates the data is presented in detail for one dashboard display. The details of the study are described, and the results are discussed.
