Driver eye glance behavior and performance with camera-based visibility systems versus mirrors

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, participants' longer time to pass a slower moving vehicle, greater distance when passing a slower moving vehicle, greater number of fixations, and lower subjective ratings with the tested CMS may indicate difficulty in judging distances and focusing on the electronic image. This study provides preliminary findings that suggest differences in driving behavior exist between a single tested prototype CMS and outside rearview mirrors and is a foundational step toward evaluating whether these trends are consistent across different systems and overall implications for safe driving behavior.PMID:37267006 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2022.2155049
