TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Characteristics of visual attention while driving under the state of drowsiness JO - Transactions of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan A1 - Homma, Ryohei A1 - Abe, Genya A1 - Kikuchi, Kazunori A1 - Iwaki, Ryo A1 - Fjii, Takeshi A1 - Fukushima, Masao SP - 1217 EP - 1222 VL - 42 IS - 5 N2 - This study examined how driver's visual attention was influenced when driving under the sate of drowsiness to gain knowledge about driver's impairment regarding recognition for objects. In this study an area in which drivers were able to detect objects was estimated by using the dynamic available visual field method.

RESULTS of a driving simulator experiment showed that drowsy driving impaired driver's visual attention, particularly on the condition that there is no vehicle ahead, compared with normal driving.
