| Abstract | The Transportation Systems Center, in support of research carried out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Crash Avoidance Division, has reviewed research into driver attentional processes to assess the potential for the development of methods and techniques for reducing accidents related to attentional lapses. This paper summarizes the results of the review with regard to the safety implications of inattention, psychological and physiological indices of inattention, and in-vehicle instrumentation for detecting inattention. This paper concludes by suggesting areas of research which could be valuable in the development of practical attention monitors for in-vehicle use. |
