Investigating the cross-cultural differences in visual attention when driving, and how these differences can be used in driver training.

驾驶是一项高度视觉化的任务，了解驾驶员的视线对道路安全至关重要。到目前为止，大多数关于驾驶员视觉注意力的研究都集中在发达国家的驾驶员身上。在发展中国家的驾驶员中，几乎没有关于视觉注意力的研究。尽管在非驾驶相关任务中发现了视觉注意力的跨文化差异。本研究旨在探讨视觉注意在驾驶领域的跨文化差异。这将通过比较英国和马来西亚驾驶员之间的视觉注意力，使用包括眼动跟踪和驾驶模拟的方法来探索。在探索这些差异之后，本研究将着重于通过结合两个民族的驾驶员的最佳策略来训练驾驶员提高他们的视觉搜索。

Driving is a highly visual task and understanding where drivers look is of paramount importance to road safety. So far, most research into drivers' visual attention has focused on drivers from developed countries. There is little to no research into visual attention amongst drivers from developing countries. This is despite the fact that cross-cultural differences in visual attention have been found in non-driving related tasks. This research aims to explore the cross-cultural differences in visual attention by applying them to the domain of driving. This will be explored by comparing visual attention between UK and Malaysian drivers using methods including eye tracking and driving simulation. Following the exploration of these differences, the research will focus on training drivers to improve their visual search by combining optimal strategies from drivers of both nationalities.
