Functional Assessment of Head-eye Coordination during Driving

2002年，澳大利亚每10万人中有238人住院，每10万人中有9人死于与公路运输有关的伤害。我们将通过评估年轻司机、熟练司机和老年司机的头部眼睛协调策略来解决这个问题，以确定与不同水平的表现相关的行为和策略。这一见解可以深入人心地传达给其他人，并将为提高操作员技能、安全性和绩效的教育材料和方法提供基础。这些单独的改进将提供整体好处，如提高运输效率、降低事故率、挽救生命和降低相关的社会成本。

238 people per 100,000 population were hospitalized and 9 people per 100,000 died as a result of road-transport related injury in Australia in 2002. We will address this issue by assessing the head eye coordination strategies for young drivers, for proficient drivers and for aged drivers to determine those behaviors and strategies that are associated with various levels of performance. This insight could be affectively communicated to others and would provide the basis for educational material and methods that would improve operator skill, safety, and performance. These individual improvements would provide overall benefits such as improved transport efficiency, reduced accident rates, saved lives and a reduction in related social costs.
