Eye Glance and Head Turn Correspondence during Secondary Task Performance in Simulator Driving

Abstract

This paper and its findings serve as a fundamental characterization of the interaction between the head and eye as a function of task demand and duration while driving. These findings have potential use in future vehicle active safety, and the design of driver assistance and/or HMI systems and features. Our findings show that head position and eye-point-of regard for certain task locations have dependence and may be suited to characterize task engagement while driving.
