range Of driving perfOrmance measures
The range of driver performance measures that can be used extends from the measurement of some
early events, actions, or steps in a task to the measurement of nal outcomes. For example, the range
of events that can be measured in a target detection task while driving can involve measurements
of locations and durations of eye xations (eye search patterns), target detection response (correct
detection or failure), response time to detect the target, detection distance, lane position variability
while searching the target, steering wheel position during search for the target, erratic or evasive
maneuver as a result of late or no detection, and accident (if ...
