• 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.
