@article{oai:niigata-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:02000800, author = {坂口, 雄介 and Sakaguchi, Yusuke}, journal = {現代社会文化研究, THE JOURNAL OF THE STUDY OF MODERN SOCIETY AND CULTURE}, month = {Feb}, note = {The purpose of this study was to analyze eye movements when driving a motor vehicle on a straight single road and to clarify difference in eye movements between elderly drivers and young drivers. We recruited nine adult males who had a regular driver's license in this study. Seven of them were over 65 years old, whereas the others were 20s. We confirmed no differences between the two groups other than age, such as eyesight and driving habits. We analyzed the gaze data of the straight single road with the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 and compared the percentage of total gazing time per area and the average gazing time between the groups through a t-test. As a result, we found elderly drivers tended to gaze at the front and right side of the road and look aside at the surrounding scenery, whereas the young drivers were prone to gaze widely from the front to the far side of the road by centering on their own lane. These results suggest that elderly drivers and young drivers have different gazing characteristics, and young drivers may have desirable gazing behavior while elderly drivers may have undesirable gazing behavior when driving on a straight single road. We expect these results can be applied to traffic safety education activities, driving lessons, and road traffic environment improvement, thereby contributing to the prevention of traffic accidents while driving on straight single roads.}, pages = {81--91}, title = {高齢者と若年者の直線単路走行時の注視特徴}, volume = {76}, year = {2023} }
