Abstract

This paper discusses how a cab-over truck driver looks at information shown in a display while driving, to give information to the driver safely and securely. The authors investigated a driver's behavior in changing focus to an information display while driving an actual truck and a driving simulator. Relation between distribution of attention and individual lengths of time to change focus to the display was examined. Average diversion time away from road was found to be approximately 1.7s, longer than that for passenger cars under similar traffic conditions. Driving skills do not have any influence on individual lengths of time.
