Abstract:The Transportation Systems Center, in support of research carried out by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Crash Avoidance Division, has
reviewed research into driver attentional processes to assess the potential for
the development of methods and techniques for reducing accidents related to
attentional lapses. This paper summarizes the results of the review with regard
to the safety implications of inattention, psychological and physiological indices
of inattention, and in-vehicle instrumentation for detecting inattention. This
paper concludes by suggesting areas of research which could be valuable in the
development of practical attention monitors for in-vehicle use.
