| Abstract: | This study investigated the effect of a driver-training tool that uses “HazardTouch” software and videos of actual accidents on drivers’ eye fixation through a tablet device (iPad). Drivers’ eye fixation of a video of a car passing thirteen intersections without signals was measured before and after training, using an eye-mark recorder. Three training exposures of four scenes using HazardTouch improved drivers’ eye fixation on the stimulus movie. In particular, the first fixation on the edge of the blind spot at intersections appeared significantly sooner after training. Moreover, fixation frequency for this blind spot increased significantly at post-training. These results suggest that the proposed driver-training tool effectively improves eye-fixation behavior in drivers and may prevent accidents. |
