Abstract
The goal of this research will be to evaluate the eye glance patterns of drivers operating L2 vehicles (ACC + lane centering) during normal, baseline driving while negotiating surface streets. Driver’s eye glance patterns when L2 systems are active will be compared to driver’s glance patterns when L2 systems are inactive while negotiating uncontrolled access roadways. Closely linked to this analysis would be to assess driver’s willingness to engage in secondary tasks and/or other driver inattention (e.g. drowsiness) when systems are active versus inactive. Specific research questions that this analysis would answer include: Do L2 drivers take longer average glance durations? Do L2 drivers take longer single glance durations? Do L2 drivers have shorter average on road glance duration? Do L2 drivers sustain a smaller attention buffer?
