Influence of Snowy Pavement on Driver’s Characteristics of Fixation and Saccade

Article Preview

Abstract:

For driving safety on snowy pavement, it is necessary to study on the influence of snowy pavement on driver’s visual characteristics. Based on reasonable partition of driver’s visual field, the data of the number of driver’s fixation and fixation time were surveyed. And driver’s characteristics of fixation were compared on good pavement and snowy pavement. Based on the data of driver’s saccade distance and speed, driver’s characteristics of saccade were compared on good and snowy pavement. It shows that snowy pavement make drivers’ visual field become narrow and it is easy to cause drivers’ visual fatigue which is adverse to driving safety.
