The goal of driver assistance systems is to monitor the driver's decisionmaking and intervene where deemed necessary. In order to support the driver's subsequent driving manoeuvres, knowledge of the driver's intentions is required. Eye movements have been found to be an indicator of information gathering, and therefore could be used to derive information about the driver's next planned objective. The aim of this study was to establish whether characteristic eye movement patterns precede particular driving manoeuvres. For this purpose, drivers' gaze behaviour was analysed prior to theexecution of different driving manoeuvres performed in real traffic usingthe DLR ViewCar. It was found that different driving manoeuvres are preceded by different gaze patterns.
