With specification of independent variables, data collatedand analyzed from this document allow comparisons to be performed across dif

10、man Factors Committee.1.1 IntroductionVision provides the primary source of information available to the driver. Information isgathered by looking at objects and events, which in turn enables decision-making, control, and navigation ofthe vehicle in the road traffic environment. Assessment of driver
11、 visual behavior (eye glance behavior)provides a method to quantify the drivers visual allocation to the roadway, traffic control devices, in-vehicleinformation sources, controls and mirrors and as such can be a useful tool in many ergonomic studies of thedriver. These would include evaluation of th
12、e visual demands of in-vehicle information devices, assessment ofvisual distraction, driver fatigue, workload, individual differences (e.g., novice versus expert) and basic studiesof visual allocation in driving.TICS and other advanced display and control systems associated with ITS can present a ra
13、nge of driverrelated information. If these visual displays have associated controls (e.g., to select a zoom level or menuoption), then the associated hand-controlled activities may also be visually guided and become part of thevisual demand associated with a display application. For this reason, it
14、may be important to consider not onlythe visual behavior in relation to information display, but also the duration and frequency of glances associatedwith driver control actions.COPYRIGHT Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.Licensed by Information Handling ServicesSAE J2396 Issued JUL2000-2-In the
15、past, comparisons between separate evaluations of specific vehicle systems in different testenvironments have been made more difficult by dissimilar approaches in experimental techniques, operationaldefinitions and analysis methods.This document has been developed to give guidance on the terms and m
16、easures relating to the collection andanalysis of driver visual behavior data. This approach aims to assess how drivers respond to vehicle andequipment design, the road environment, or other driver related tasks in both real and simulated roadconditions. It is based on the assumption that efficient
17、processing of visual information is necessary to the safeperformance of the driving task in a given driving situation. Practical assessments of drivers in real or simulated environments are conducted to quantify the allocation ofvisual behavior to specified targets. It may be quantified by the locat
18、ion, duration, and frequency of glances toa specified target in the visual scene. This approach often employs commonly available video-recordingequipment. However, it does not preclude the use of more sophisticated technologies such as eye movementtechniques, which may elicit additional driver visua
19、l behavior information. See Appendix A for a generaldiscussion on capture techniques for video based eye glance data.2.

Definitions3.1 Direction of GazeThe target (see Figure 1) or target location to which the eyes are directed.3.2 Dwell TimeThe sum all fixations and saccades within the ta
34、rget area between transitions or shifts of gaze toother target areas (see Figure 2).3.3 FixationAlignment of the eyes so that the image of the fixated target falls on the fovea for a given timeperiod.3.4 FrameThe basic unit of observation for data reduction based on the video data capture rate. It i
35、s one of thesuccessive pictures recorded on a videotape or on digitized video. The data reducer (or data reductionsoftware) examines a video display of the drivers eyes frame by frame, to determine the driver eye fixationlocation.3.5 Glance DurationThe time from the moment at which the direction of
36、gaze moves toward a target (e.g., theinterior mirror) to the moment it moves away from it. This includes the transition time to that target (see Figure2). A single glance duration may also be simply referred to as a glance.3.6 Glance FrequencyThe number of glances to a target within a pre-defined sa
37、mple time period, or during apre-defined task, where each glance is separated by at least one glance to a different target.3.7 Glance Location ProbabilityThe probability that the eyes are fixated at a given target (location) during asample interval. This would be defined as the frequency of glances
38、to target A divided by the number ofglances to all targets in the sample.COPYRIGHT Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.Licensed by Information Handling ServicesSAE J2396 Issued JUL2000-4-3.8 Link Value ProbabilityThe probability of a glance transition between two different locations. Operationally,
39、the link value probability between target locations A and B is defined as the number of glance transitions fromA to B plus the number of glance transitions from B to A; this sum divided by the total number of glancetransitions between all pairs of locations in the sample interval.3.9 SaccadeThe brie
40、f movement of the eyes between fixations. See Figure 2.3.10 Sample Interval (period)A reference time period that constitutes a sample of interest (e.g., an in-vehicletask or maneuver) in the video data. Usually, this will be the time associated with a reference event.3.11 Separation Angle (in-vehicl
41、e devices)The angle subtended at the eye between the center of two in-vehicle targets. This angle should be 20 degrees unless a sampling to such targets is commanded or ifcalibration demonstrates better discrimination.3.12 Target (Target Location)A pre-determined area within the visual scene, (e.g.,
42、 a rear view mirror). SeeFigure 1. For commanded visual tasks it can be a specific instrument.3.13 Time Off Road SceneThe total time between two successive glances to the road scene that are separatedby glances to non-road targets. If this is the sole emphasis in a test, use strategy “d” on page six
43、 for glancedefinition in data reduction (i.e., include both transitions to and from the road scene).3.14 TransitionA change in eye fixation location from one defined target location to a different target location.3.15 Transition TimeThe duration between the end of the fixation on a target location a
44、nd the start of the fixationon another target location. See Figure 2.3.16 Visual Display (TICS or ITS device)A device used to present information or a control which requires visualfixations to locate and operate.3.17 Visual Angle (for non-road scene targets)The angle subtended at the eye by the larg
45、est dimension of aviewed object.4. Measuring Eye Glance Behavior in DrivingTo put the previous terms in context, it is important tounderstand the process of visual perception through saccadic eye movements. The main function of asaccade is to change the point of fixation to direct the most sensitive
46、 region of the retina (the fovea) to aparticular object of perception (Yarbus 1967). These saccades are typically less then 20 degrees in amplitudeand have an angular velocity of up to 400 degrees per second. After one or more saccades, fixations of 0.2 to0.4 s are made to process information. A gla
47、nce is considered as a series of fixations at a target area until theeye is directed at a new area. Operationally, the glance duration includes the prior transition time (to beconsistent with ISO 15007). These transition times typically range from 0.10 to 0.5 s depending upon thedistance between the
48、 two targets. Dwell time is defined as the glance duration minus the prior transition timeor the sum of all fixations and saccades in the target area between transitions or shifts of gaze to other targetareas. See Figure 2.With sophisticated eye movement systems, it is possible to measure the durati
49、on of fixations and transitiontimes. However, for video based systems, accuracy is limited to static target glance durations (usuallybetween 0.5 to 3+ s). It should be noted that gazes to the road usually involve several glances. A graphicaldepiction of the visual allocation process describes the definitions to follow. See Figure 1.The chronological relationship of driver visual allocation between and among targets is illustrated in Figure 2.Each horizontal segment represents a fixation (alignment of the eyes so that an image of the fixated target fall
