Abstract
The importance of developing automated driving systems based on driver characteristics is increasing rapidly. Although some previous studies indicated differences in driver eye movements caused by driving experience or the situation, few studies have focused on the effects of familiarity with the driving environment on driver eye movements. In this study, we investigated differences in eye movements, especially fixation duration and location, between novice and expert drivers when driving abroad. The eye movements of about 50 participants were measured during driving simulations in two situations: driving in their own country and in a foreign one. Results indicated that experienced drivers were more likely to be influenced by familiarity of the driving situation. This results show the need to develop an automated driving system that considers drivers’ driving background.
