One of the twelve test participants, David, is setting off for his second baseline drive, this time with winter tyres. The first one was completed in autumn, with summer tyres. The test route goes around the lake Roxen, close to Linköping, and includes driving on urban and rural roads as well as on the motorway. Before each trip the eye tracker needs to be calibrated and adjusted to the current test person. The driver’s eye movements are then logged with 60 Hz via five cameras, such that detailed analyses of the driver’s gaze behaviour are possible. This will allow conclusions about how drivers interact visually with the ecoDriver system.
