Abstract
The eye fixations of six individuals were measured while driving on straight and curved sections of road, night and day, and with and without a car in front of them. Eye fixations on straight sections were distributed uniformly over the road, while on curves they tended in the direction the vehicle would be turning. At night fixations were concentrated relatively near the vehicle, in the area illuminated by its headlamps. Fixations averaged longer duration at night as well. When a lead vehicle was present, it dominated the attention of the drivers, especially at night and on straight sections of road. (Author/publisher)
