Visual Search by Automobile Drivers
Abstract
Data are presented on the visual search of automobile drivers during two maneuvers: (1) entering a highway after a stop, and (2) changing lanes on a multilane highway. Head-movement measurements were used to infer patterns and timing of search. The relationships between eye and head movements are discussed.
