Driving
Eye tracking can be used to record and analyse driver attention. For example, road-safety and driver distraction studies, assessing the effectiveness of signage, dashboad and instrumentation design.
Eye tracking with driving simulators
EYEHEAD Integration in a driving simulator
Eye tracking can be integrated with different types of vehicle and aircraft simulators. Using ASL EYEHEAD Integration, it is possible to track different components of the virtual scene and cockpit (windscreen, dashboard, etc.) and automate aspects of the analysis around the view presented to a driver. Simulators have the advantage of providing a controlled environment, where it is possible to provide tasks and manipulate variables such as cognitive load.
On-road driving studies
Sometimes it is appropriate to conduct driving studies in a live environment. However, this has been difficult to achieve in the past due to limitations with the portability of the eye tracking equipment, and its ability to cope with different lighting conditions. The tetherless and lightweight Mobile Eye eye tracking system is ideal for performing in-vehicle driver studies in a real-world setting and can even operate in bright sunshine, or where there are many reflections in the environment. The following videos show it being used for both day time and night time driving.
