Specifics of the Influence of the Perception of the Traffic Situation of Road Users on the Occurrence of an Accident

Abstract

In order to correctly estimate the moment of recognizing the occurrence of a collision situation, it is essential for the driver to evaluate the method of preventing an accident and to assess the driving technique. In the analysis of an accident, one of the important tasks is to evaluate the driver's ability to perceive the traffic situation according to various aspects. At present, there are various measuring systems of eye movement, which are designed to perform a quality reconstruction of the direction of eye movement of road users as a function of time. In addition to the basic physiology of the perception of road users, the paper deals with the use of the Viewpointsystem® measuring system designed for the analysis of eye movement in the perception of the traffic situation. First, it is characterized by a measuring system, outputs in the human-road-vehicle relationship, as well as its hardware and software. As part of determining the decisive moment for a collision situation, an analysis of the direction of movement of the eyes of the vehicle driver during a dangerous traffic situation is performed while driving on a road section located outside the village.
