Abstract

A driver-distraction is an improtant traffic safety issue to avoid the degradation of driving performance. VOR (vestibulo-ocular reflex), and involuntary eye movement is used in this paper to evaluate the driver-distraction. VOR was severely affected in our previous studies according to task workloads presented on the central vision. This study extends the scope of the previous ones to consider the relationship between VOR and task workload on the peripheral vision. The experimental results suggests that processing resources for task workloads in the central vision and peripheral vision are separated, and 'n-back' task which involves highly complex informatin processing rarely affected VOR.
